GREAT ATTRACTIONS IN A NATURAL WONDERLAND - DAYTONA BEACH
 
(2019 - Winter/Spring Issue)

Writer: STEVE WINSTON



Looking for a place where there’s plenty to see and do in a beautiful natural playground? Daytona Beach is all about fun so shed your boots and slip into your flip-flops, because the area’s upcoming winter and spring calendars are bursting with fun family events.

Get a close-up view of local marine life at the Marine Science Center. Visit the 53-metre-high Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse & Museum, among the tallest in the U.S. Discover the Museum of Arts & Sciences with its state-of-the-art planetarium and experience the interactive joys of its Children’s Discovery Museum. Watch the story of Florida come alive at the Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art, home to the largest collection of Florida art.  

One of the best attractions is Daytona International Speedway, which is open for tours year-round. Every February, one of the racing world’s coolest experiences, DAYTONA Speedweeks Presented by AdventHealth, culminates with the DAYTONA 500. You and your family will never forget the sights, sounds and thrills of your visit to the World Center of Racing.

In March, another family fun event happens at the Speedway: the 30th annual Spring Daytona Turkey Run car show, a festive atmosphere with great food, and arts and crafts vendors, too.

The Daytona Beach area is blessed with a variety of stunning natural settings. A drive along the 55-kilometre Ormond Scenic Loop takes you through canopied oaks and past tidal creeks and marshes, and the 400-year-old Fairchild Oak.

Find additional scenic and recreational options at Tomoka State Park, located on an ancient Native American site on the Tomoka River, where you can enjoy boating, paddling, cycling, hiking, birdwatching, geocaching, camping, and fishing as well as observe colourful Florida wildlife.

And you certainly don’t want to miss one of the world’s most famous and widest beaches to keep you and your loved ones engaged for hours on end.
