Daytona Beach has been a fun place to visit for decades. And today that is still true. Located on the east coast of Florida, 52 miles northeast of Orlando, and 77 miles southeast of Jacksonville on highway A1A. Daytona Beach has always billed itself as “The Worlds Most Famous Beach”. Here you can enjoy 23 miles of white sandy beaches that are open to the public 24/7. Cars are permitted in designated areas from sun up until sunset. Water sports and sightseeing are the best things to do here. Daytona Beach is pure fun in the sun, and has something for everyone, no matter what age you are.
The beach boardwalk, located right on the Atlantic ocean is a great place to stroll and relax taking in all the sights and sounds. Enjoy old-fashioned fun with the shops and arcades. Or enjoy the historic fishing pier stretching roughly 1000 feet into the Atlantic Ocean. Open daily from 6am-10pm.
Crabby Joe’s Deck and Grill on the pier is a great place to grab a bite with a spectacular view. The best view of the beach and area is the 180 foot Space Needle observation tower, located at the entrance to the pier. When you get to the top, it revolves giving you a 360 degree view. Nice. Or enjoy the skylift that takes you out to the tip of the pier.
There are also lots of little shops on the boardwalk, with great t-shirts, souvenirs, etc. The sights and sounds on the boardwalk, plus the ocean surf, make for a great experience for sure. You will have a lot of fun being in Daytona Beach. It is just an excellent place to vacation.
