Daytona Beach Activities

Once you’ve sprayed on sunscreen and started on the book you brought, could life be any better? Well, after the sun and soothing rhythm of the surf have done their job, do you get an inner urge for some excitement, something new to do?

Seize the moment and learn to paddleboard, go kayaking or take a guided eco-tour on an airboat. For a healthy start to the day, ride a bike on the hard-packed sand or peddle along a park trail and feel the warm breeze ruffle your hair.

There are more than 25 top rated links in the area, so it’s easy to tee up some action. The courses designed by legends of the game at LPGA International are highly rated for their playability. If fishing is your game, go offshore for sea trout and mackerel or try freshwater fishing in the calm Intracoastal.

A trip to one of the historic sites or museums rewards curious minds with enlightening facts about the Timucuan Indian civilization and the lively colonial, steamboat and railroad eras. One of our best preserved landmarks is the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, Florida’s tallest beacon. The exhilarating Climb to the Moon tour is spectacular on the night of the full moon!

Indulge your cultural need at a Bandshell concert or one of our performance halls. Catch a film at Cinematique in their location in Downtown Daytona Beach. At the Museum of Arts and Sciences, a exhibition of Florida watercolors spans many styles, from Impressionism to Abstraction.

The tour at the Daytona International Speedway is not to be missed. But to fill your need for cruising, rent a motorcycle to ride Scenic A1A Highway north along the dunes or
a quite two-lane road.
