Beaches in Daytona

by Dave Jackson

Of the 23 miles of beach, 16 miles allow driving and parking during the day and when the tide permits. Simply pack a lawn chair or blanket and cruise over to Daytona, park within feet of the water and deploy your lawn chair, sandals and suntan lotion - all while declaring this a sun and surf lovers paradise. There is plenty of free parking in the area, but lots close to the beach fill up fast. If you can’t find a spot, head west of the beach a block or two, where you’ll find plenty more spaces within walking distance. This exclusive development of hotels, restaurants and shops boasts its own Caribbean-themed water park. Stroll the stunning beaches of the Florida coast, catch motorsports fever at the Daytona International Speedway, and discover the beauty of the Daytona Beach area just outside our door.

Discover the grand tradition of hospitality and service at this sparkling Daytona Beach hotel. Stretch out in our elegant, spacious accommodations, and enjoy stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. Daytona Beach remains ‘The World’s Most Famous Beach’, you will be a half block from the boardwalk, water park and within short driving distance to the downtown shopping district. There are also many on-site amenities that will keep you and your family occupied whether it is fun in the sun, or fun in the shade if the weather gets cloudy. The south end of the beach has no car zone and is a conservation area and Smyrna Dunes Park at the north end is great for surfing. Smyrna Dunes Park also has three miles of elevated boardwalks winding along a coastal nature preserve.

Daytona Beach’s 23 miles of sparkling Florida sand promise plenty of surfside family fun to keep the kiddies content, plus a plethora of off-beach activities to keep them occupied away from the sun. Wildlife excursions on the Halifax River and the nearby Marine Science Center offer eco-education, while the race-car simulator at Daytona USA thrills adults and kids alike. What’s really different from the Gulf Coast beaches is that if you want to go to the beach here in Daytona, you almost have to park ON THE BEACH. There are very few access points that have off-beach parking. The Ponce Inlet lighthouse station is also a prominent feature of the park that you won’t want to miss . But really, the focus is on the beach and the jetty.

The kids will love the water park rides, mini-golf, go-karts and video arcade at the Daytona Lagoon, located right across the street from us. If you need a break from the beach then head over to our two pools for a relaxing swim or take a dip in one of our whirlpools. For more information regarding beach passes, contact Republic Parking at (386) 254-4605. Free onsite parking is also available.

There are hotels in every price range, and many have fantastic oceanfront views. Daytona Beach Florida hotels and Daytona Beach Florida resorts line its shores, with accommodations ranging from luxurious to homey. Off the beach, chain hotels and motels provide more affordable lodging for those on a budget. The hotel’s palm-tree-lined outdoor pool and sundeck overlook the beach. Guestrooms are decorated in tropical hues and feature cable television.
