I have gone to Daytona twice--once on the way to Miami and on the way back. Beyond the hotel and the speedway(I am not into racing) there was very little to do. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed in the beach. It looked like something out of a 1970's horror movie. If you want to see beaches, you need to drive further north to Ormand-by-the-Sea
I started going in 1998 for the 500 in Feb. I've stayed north to south, Ormond Beach to the shores and have enjoyed everything Daytona has to offer.

Daytona Beach has been besieged by rampant corruption as a result of the undue influence of a handful of local tycoons, considered above the law. The malfeasance has reached untenable levels and we need urgent Federal ...

They have Elvis pictures everywhere, play Elvis music on the stereo and serve the best hot dog with homemade chili on a New England style bun. They have lots of other sandwiches on their menu and salads too, they even have beer and winecoolers for the adults ...

Living in Daytona Beach and liking it
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/20/08
I have lived here in Daytona for 4 years now. I have lived in south florida and Ft Myers on the gulf and hands down Daytona rocks! There is good and bad here just like anywhere you may go in this country. It's not overrun with people and traffic like the rest of Florida. I have a great job I love and have met some really great people from all ...
