Daytona Beach Travel Guide

In the past, a visit to Daytona Beach was synonymous with opulence and decadence, and was one of the biggest party towns in the eastern United States.

The past few years has seen Daytona go to some extremes to keep this yearly ritual to a limit, and to patrol the streets to make them less a problem than once the annual ritual was. Daytona Beach is more than beaches, more than sand and the even more lovely warm water. Daytona Beach attractions are also entertainment, the arts, history, wildlife, and one thing more most recently.
