Parents and fans of NASCAR will know the name Daytona Beach for the Daytona International Speedway, home of the Daytona 500 race. But there’s a lot more to this city, which has miles of picture perfect beaches, some of which can even be driven on. Families can rent surfboards, kayaks, jet skis, and even motor vehicles like scooters and Segways on the beach or head into the city for attractions like the Charles and Linda Williams Children’s Museum.
Daytona Beach Aqua Safari offers a 90 minute mini-cruise led by marine biologists, and the Old Spanish Sugar Mill is a historic building that has now been turned into a pancake house where guests can grill their own pancakes made from grain ground right on site.
