Looking for your next vacation destination? Allow us to introduce you to Daytona Beach. This wonderful destination is not only the birthplace of NASCAR but also home to some jaw-dropping natural attractions and gigantic amusement parks. What’s more—over 90 million tourists visit Daytona each year, which is enough to prove just how famous it is. Here’s why Daytona should be your next vacation spot.
The Weather
Florida is often referred to as the Sunshine State, and for good reason. The temperature in Daytona Beach seldom falls below 20°C between May and October, and it often reaches the mid-30s between June and September. This contributes to the state’s reputation for having a year-round subtropical climate. On the other hand, the winds coming off the Atlantic Ocean have a wonderfully cooling impact throughout the hot months. The daily maximum temperature averages out to be 26.8C.
The Sand
The time trials and races staged on Daytona’s hard-packed sand at the beginning of the 20th century are primarily responsible for propelling the city into the annals of history. NASCAR was established on this beach in 1947 and remained until 1959. Later, it relocated to the newly built Daytona International Speedway. Driving on Daytona Beach is still permitted today, both in automobiles and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs); however, the speed limit is ten miles per hour (mph).
The Views
The Lofty Ponce Inlet Lighthouse offers breathtaking views of Daytona Beach. The building dates back to 1887 and received the honor of becoming a National Historic Landmark in 1998. It is 175 feet tall; however, the stunning view at the top makes the climb worth the effort. In addition, there is a museum on the premises, which showcases artifacts relating to the history of the United States Lighthouse Service, Daytona Beach, and the state of Florida.
Natural Beauty
Besides the weather, sand, and views, Daytona has so much to offer in terms of its landscapes. Just a 20-minute drive is Tomoka State Park, located on a 900-acre peninsula. It has tranquil hiking routes and excellent opportunities for kayaking. The area is rich in history and was formerly inhabited by Timucuan Indians, who made their living off of the fish that inhabited the lagoons nearby. Approximately 160 birds, 90 types of fish, alligators, gopher tortoises, bobcats, and manatees call this place home.
