Florida Central East : Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach
Daytona claims to be the “World’s Most Famous Beach". We’re not sure about that, or a number of other claims made by various visitor bureaus around the country, but Daytona would have to be on anyone’s short list of very popular beaches. Daytona Beach was renowned for its speedway long before it became the popular beach resort it is today. Auto enthusiasts should visit both the Daytona International Speedway and Daytona USA, a tribute to the history of the speedway. At low tide, it is possible to drive along the hard packed sands of the glorious beach. Daytona Beach has an attractive promenade which lines the oceanfront near the amusement area, by the pier. Sailing, surfing, sailboarding and water skiing are among the area’s water activities.
The beach is famous for many other things besides cars and racing. There are the many very friendly and beautiful people that are always enjoying activities at the beach. With 23 miles to play on people have found an almost unlimited amount of activities. Sunbathing, surfing, frisbee, sandcastle building, people watching, volleyball, swimming, running, bicycling, car cruising, bikini watching, kite flying, picnicing, riding floats, relaxing, riding motorbikes, sitting under umbrellas, looking for shells, sailing, jet sking, skim boarding, fishing, enjoying beauty contests, eating “beach dogs” or snowcones, going up in the space needle, walking the boardwalk, playing video games, enjoying the skyride, taking a giant swing, sail boarding, jogging, enjoying free concerts, comparing tans, meeting new friends, or take a romantic walk on the beach at night with the moonlight sparkling on the water.
