Daytona Beach
The Daytona Beach
area is best known for its 23 miles of wonderful wide beaches, NASCAR® racing
and many fine golf courses. But that’s just for starters. There are downtown
historical areas to be explored, golf and tennis games to be played, exciting
fishing and diving and hundreds of other recreational activities to enjoy.
-
Daytona’s sparkling white beach is an impressive 500
feet wide at low tide. Cars are still permitted on some
sections but unlike the early speed records set here, 10
m.p.h. is the limit today. Many of the beaches are
handicap accessible, and specially adapted wheelchairs
are available at selected areas.
- Golf is
well represented. In fact, Daytona Beach has over a
dozen excellent courses and is home to the Ladies
Professional Golf Association (LPGA).
- To fully
experience the area, you should explore the water as
many ways as possible. Deep sea, surf and pier fishing
are year ’round favorites. Along the many winding
waterways you’re likely to see wild dolphins, jumping
fish and graceful water birds from a charming canopied
cruise boat, guided canoe or other vessel. Need more
excitement? Grab a jet ski, parasail, wind surfer or
scuba gear. It’s all here.
- Daytona
Beach history goes back to the 16th century arrival of
the French, Spanish, British and other brave explorers.
The Bulow Plantation House has fascinating displays and
an open-air museum featuring rare Seminole Indian relics
and artifacts.
- The
Casements was formerly the winter home of
multi-millionaire John D. Rockefeller. Today, it’s the
city of Ormond Beach’s beautiful cultural center.
- Beach
Street in Old Daytona Beach’s takes you back to life as
it was in the early 1870s with tours and exhibits
scheduled throughout the year.
- The
famous Daytona Beach boardwalk is part of an oceanfront
amusement area that includes the "Salute to Speed"
exhibit. Other race-related attractions including
Daytona U.S.A., Klassic Auto Attractions and the Richard
Petty Driving Experience, to name just a few.
- At the
Adventure Landing Water Park and Entertainment Center,
you'll find many exciting "wet and dry" activities
including a 17,000-square-foot wave pool with water
slides, plus go-carts, miniature golf courses and more.
