explore, endless rugged coastline and a bunch of beachfront-mansion eye candy to boot.
Daytona Beach
Known for its wide, hard-packed white sandy beaches, for its gaudy carnival attractions,
and as a mecca for leather-clad bikers, revheads and spring breakers, Daytona Beach is
most famous as the birthplace of the ultra-Southern and mega-popular motorsport of
NASCAR racing and as home of the Daytona 500. All this talk of racing has been known
to inspire drivers to push the pedal to the metal. Police know this, of course, and quickly
curtail any need for speed.
Anything but a wallflower, Daytona Beach draws a good-time crowd: it hosts one of the
last spring breaks on the Atlantic Coast (tamer now than during its halcyon days); its pop-
ulation quintuples during Speedweeks; and as many as half a million bikers roar into town
for Bike Week in March and Biketoberfest in October. If balmy beer-soaked days and
nights of motor racing, motorcycles and the men who love them are your thing, you might
have found your heaven on earth. If not, move on.
If you can see past the garish beachside barricade of 70s high-rise blocks, nightclubs
and tourist traps (if not quite literally), you might witness the phenomena of nesting sea
turtles (in season) or explore a handful of interesting and worthwhile cultural attractions.
