When you go on a beach vacation, it is very important to find a destination which is more than just a beach. If you have kids to entertain, you’ll want some extra activities. Why not vacation in Daytona Beach Florida, which has 23 miles of beach and plenty of activities.
Although Daytona Beach is most well known for their Independence Day weekend celebrations, they enjoy a stunning year round temperate climate, which makes it possible to visit at time. All budgets are catered for in the different accommodations available. You will also find world-class golf, shopping, beaches, spas, water-sports, angling, fine dining, and even cultural activities.
Looking for something special? Daytona Beach is known for great racing. Independence Day weekend wouldn’t be the same without NASCAR racing. At the World Center of Racing in Daytona Beach, you’ll want to be a part of the Saturday night Sprint Cup series! This international raceway sets standards for all other raceways of its kind world-wide. If you’re a race fan or not, experiencing NASCAR racing at Daytona Beach is something you should at least check out.
With plenty of free attractions, Daytona Beach offers many options during the summer months. Free activities can save you a boatload of money, especially if you have kids to entertain. You can’t get a better value than “free”! One free activity worth checking out is Angell & Phelps Chocolate. This factory has been operation since 1925, and offers free tours.
Culture is plentiful too at the Art League of Daytona Beach which holds regularly changed exhibitions of national and local artists. The old winter home of the Rockefellers is a must-see. This tour is also free and the “Casements” has become the museum and cultural center of Ormond Beach. Built by John D Rockefeller, this taste of Daytona Beach history takes place Monday to Friday, and Saturdays too at predetermined times.
Free concerts in the Bandshell are a big deal at all US beach resort towns and cities and Daytona Beach is no different. Bring or hire your beach chair because once the concert is over at 9:45 on a Saturday, you get to experience a free fireworks display. Enjoy a series of concerts throughout the summer including, rock, country, big band, swing and jazz music.
The North Peninsula State Recreation Area also offers free entry and this is 900 hectare of pristine natural beauty comprising two miles of coast and beaches. It is a popular place for surf fishing and sea turtle spotting.
