Often thought of as being for spring breakers or stock car and motorcycle enthusiasts, Daytona Beach and the surrounding area offer so much more for visitors and locals.

If you are seeking fun in the sun, the World’s Most Famous Beach awaits. Volusia County offers almost 50 miles of hard-packed sands. For a unique experience, cruise along more than 15 miles of drivable beach. It’s an experience unique to Daytona Beach.

Try climbing the 203 steps to the top of the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse for incredible ocean views, or maybe get launched more than 360 feet in the air on the Daytona Beach Slingshot for a completely different experience on high. After your stomach settles, make a pit stop at Racing’s North Turn Restaurant for a delicious burger and ocean views that can’t be beat. After lunch, enjoy a slow, relaxing afternoon at the Museum of Arts and Sciences or flip through thousands of records at Atlantic Sounds for a great end to the afternoon. Finish your day with dinner and drinks at the Garlic and Blu Bar.
