START CLOSE TO HOME
Four easy ways to spend a day.
PONCE INLET
Lighthouse and marine life
Climb the historic lighthouse, explore restored keepers’ buildings, and visit the Marine Science Center’s sea turtle rehabilitation exhibits.
THE BEACH
Walk, swim, fish, repeat
Begin with sunrise on the no-drive beach, walk toward Sunglow Pier, or settle into a long afternoon beside the oceanfront pool.
THE SPEEDWAY
A Daytona essential
The speedway offers behind-the-scenes tours on many non-event days. Tour routes and availability change around track activity.
LOCAL PARKS
Playgrounds, picnic spots, and views
Daytona Beach Shores maintains ocean and river parks with features such as dune walkovers, playgrounds, picnic shelters, and fitness areas.
