Holidays to Daytona Beach are family favourites, with beaches and boardwalks, a rip-roaring speedway and up-close nature.

All-American beach scene

Located on Florida's Atlantic coast, Daytona Beach's coast stretches on forever – or so it seems. There's lots to see besides the beach, too, like the all-American motorsport stadium. And it's not just beach bums and racing nuts that are sorted. Nature lovers can catch glimpses of bald eagles and slow-moving manatees in the river that divides the sand from the city.

Start your engines

Attention, thrill-seekers – grab a beer and a corn dog and get over to the Daytona International Speedway. Crowds get especially crazy around the annual Daytona 500 car race in February. The population surges during biker events, too, like Bike Week and Biketoberfest.

Sweet attractions

When you've boosted your brain at the Museum of Arts and Sciences, reward yourself with a visit to the Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory. You'll find all manner of goodies dunked in chocolate – even bacon.
