Daytona Beach is a hub for many different cultures, from the race car enthusiast to the art aficionado. This beach has been a destination for thousands of vacationers and tourists since the early 1900’s when horseless carriages were raced on the hard packed beach sands. Everyone will enjoy a trip to the Daytona International Speedway, home of the Daytona 500. Here you can learn about the history of stock car racing and even enter a motion simulator that will take you through the turns at 200 mph. Of course you will want to set aside some time to see the beach! The “World’s Most Famous Beach” stretches almost 25 miles and is separated from the mainland by the Halifax River. The center of activity along the beach is the Main Street Pier where you can, for a small fee, look out over the ocean from the 180 ft tall Space Needle. The pier also has everything you need to enjoy a great day of fishing. Nearby Ocean Walk Village provides a unique shopping experience and the Museum of Arts and Sciences in Daytona Beach is sure to captivate you. Don’t forget to take a stroll down Beach Street to see exclusive shops and motorcycle specialty stores. On that note, if you are in Daytona Beach in early March or mid October, be sure to check out all the Bike Week and Biketoberfest activities. Other nearby attractions include horseback riding, golfing, helicopter rides and don’t forget Disney World is only about 65 miles away. Daytona International Airport (DAB, 3miles) offers the closest airport, however Orlando International Airport (MCO, 60miles) usually offers the cheaper fares.
