I love the fact that the boardwalk had expanded from the time when I use to visit 30 years ago. The Stage area and the end of the boardwalk was all there was the but now there are restaurant, movie theater and big hotels right on the boardwalk. I didn't like paying to park but I did and I will.

Best walking beach, best waves for boogie-boarding, best people watching, best sand, and even dolphins (keep your eyes open)!

My husband and I really enjoyed Daytona Beach. Of course, who could not enjoy the drive down on the sand!

The beach was very nice. Usually we go to the gulf side. Not sure I would go back, but it is very clean.

Daytona is a beautiful beach! The beach is nice and flat, so it was great to take long walks on. The waves are bigger than the waves on the west coast of Florida, I prefer the smaller waves. I did not like that you can drive on the beach, especially with kids, but there wasn't a lot of traffic and... More

Daytona is a beautiful beach. It is very relaxing to just sit under an umbrella and soak in the atmosphere. An added benefit is the fact you can drive on the beach. This allows you to easily transport whatever you need to the water without breaking a sweat.

It's flat, smooth, and gorgeous with lots of activities and people watching. There are chair and umbrella rentals as well as food and ranker vendors. But there is also plenty of room to throw down a towel and sit by yourself, if that's what you want.
