Daytona Beach, located on Florida’s Atlantic coast, is a vibrant and lively city in Volusia County. It is world-famous for the Daytona International Speedway, a 2.5-mile motorsports circuit where the Rolex 24 at Daytona endurance race for sports and grand touring cars has been held since 1966.
Beyond the excitement of speed and adrenaline, this city offers attractions for everyone, regardless of whether you are traveling solo, as a couple, or with your family.
The beaches of Daytona
With 23 miles of white sand beaches, the Daytona Beach area is one of the most accessible in Florida. Some of the renowned destinations include:
- Ormond Beach
- Daytona Beach
- Daytona Beach Shores
- Ponce Inlet.
Visitors can enjoy free access to the beach at any time of the day. Numerous dedicated areas are situated away from major thoroughfares, making them particularly suitable for families with children.
While cars are not allowed on all sections of the beach, there are designated areas in Daytona Beach where you can drive on the beach, depending on the tides. This iconic activity has become deeply ingrained in the city’s tradition. Experience the thrill of driving through the soft sands by car or motorcycle, especially during sunset, for a truly unique spectacle.
