- Daytona Beach is known as "The World's Most Famous Beach" for good reason. It is a city that exemplifies a beach lifestyle reflected in local cuisine, hospitality, and culture.Daytona Beach Picture Gallery Copyright © 2024 Daytona BeachDaytona Beach or simply Daytona is a city in Volusia County, Florida, United States.
Daytona Beach is also a principal city of the Fun Coast region of Florida. Daytona Beach has over 23 miles (37 km) of white sandy beaches open to pedestrians without time restrictions. Cars can be driven on some of the beaches during daylight hours.
Daytona Beach benefits from the constant breeze sweeping in from the sea, which tends to cool things off in the hot summer months. Even the cooler winter months can be pleasant.
The city is historically known for its beach, where the hard-packed sand allows motorized vehicles to drive on the beach in restricted areas. This hard-packed sand made Daytona Beach a mecca for motorsports, and the old Daytona Beach and Road Course hosted races for over 50 years. This was replaced in 1959 by Daytona International Speedway. The city is also the headquarters for NASCAR.
