Destination: Daytona Beach
Speed drives tourism in the home of the Daytona 500. But if you slow down, you'll discover fascinating history, eco-attractions, a revitalized downtown and a thriving arts scene at the "World's Most Famous Beach."
There is history all around in Daytona Beach. The Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse, standing the tallest in the nation as the guardian of the Florida coast; Ormond Beach, where by the turn of the 20th century, automobiles were racing along the beaches and pioneers were blazing the sands with their record setting driving; and the 121 year-old Plaza Resort & Spa are just a few of the historic sites in the area. In fact, history takes precedence as the top reason people flock to Daytona every year.
Besides the beaches and innumerable recreation activities, the Daytona Beach area offers more golf than you can pack in. The region lays claim to a number of eminently playable golf courses, including LPGA International, Halifax Plantation Golf Club, a Bill Amick design and Jack Nicklaus' Ocean Hammock Golf Club.
