It’s your typical Beach town. Nothing really special otherwise. :) But if you like beaches, you’ll love Daytona. I would suggest staying away during Spring Break (it gets amazingly packed) and Bike Week.

I live on the west coast of Florida. The Gulf of Mexico is pretty but we prefer the Atlantic. Daytona Beach is an amazing place. The beach is over 20 miles long! You can hang out by the boardwalk area which does do not allow cars (perfect for families with small children) or, you can drive your car for miles and miles on pristine, hard packed sand. I have never seen a piece of trash on the beach.

We prefer to stay at one of the many cute little motels that dot the coastline. I don’t like it when I have to take an elevator or walk through a lobby just to get to the beach. I like to open my motel room door and step onto the beach. We have stayed at the Sand Castle Motel and also at the South Shore Motel. Both are nice and clean and they greet you by name. Check out www.daytonabeach.com they have a lot of information on where to stay and things to do. We love Daytona Beach and go there about four times a year!

An ok place by hippie1427

we stopped here to walk along the beach on our was to cape canaveral. the beach is almost flat, the water washes up smoothly. No wonder they raced cars here. It was fairly crowded. Probably not a place I would choose to go as a destination in itself.

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Daytona Beach by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Daytona Beach is a town with many personalities. It is at once the self-proclaimed "World's Most Famous Beach" and "World Center of Racing," a mecca for tattooed motorcyclists and pierced spring-breakers, and the home of a surprisingly good art museum. The city and developers are also spending millions of dollars to turn the somewhat seedy beachfront area (complete with the requisite T-shirt and souvenir shops) around the famous Main Street Pier into Ocean Walk Village, a redevelopment area of shops, entertainment, and resort facilities.
