Racing In The Streets In Daytona

If riding a wave that curls over your head, at which instant is recognized as "tubular"

, is your concept of a spectacular time, then a beach vacation at Daytona Beach, one of the USA's premier surfing spots, is a good choice. Located on Florida's central Atlantic Coast and only 90 minutes from the theme park capitol of the world, Orlando, Daytona is home to golden beaches with world class surf, motor sports and a spirited nightlife.

Whether you are here to visit Ron Jon's and other surf shops, attending an event at the Daytona International Speedway, participating in Biketoberfest or just lying on the beach sipping exotic drinks, beach rentals are so much better in a great accommodation. You will be happy to know that there are many beach rental deals available in Daytona Beach these days. Some beach rentals offer discounts of over 80% during the off season. If you are planning on attending a speedway event while on your beach vacation, you may find some package deals that will enable you to save on both lodgings and speedway admissions.

Heart of Florida's Fun Coast area, the city of Daytona Beach itself is less than 70,000 people except when guests arrive for a choice of events during the year. Because of the firmly packed sand, Daytona Beach attracted motoring buffs early on. Motor sports date back to 1902, and the first of stock car races that would in the end evolve into NASCAR race and the Daytona 500 was held in 1936.

Since the 1920s, Daytona Beach has had a reputation as the "World's Most Famous Beach," and it is no small wonder. The offshore conditions with its sandy floor and consistent swells make it the ideal surfing spot, particularly at Ponce Inlet and New Smyrna. You can visit the Volusia County Website for regular updates on surf conditions.

For the kids, there is a plethora of fun activities that include miniature golf, go-karts and even a ghost tour. Haunts of the World's Most Famous Beach Ghost Tours will appeal to history buffs, budding scientists and folks who like a good ghost story. It's not all about the water, however. In nearby DeLand, you can charter a balloon for a bird's eye look at the area. Another way to see the area from the air is to go parasailing at Ponce Inlet.

After a day with the kids, Mom and Dad will be grateful for an chance to get away by themselves for a little romantic getaways, and might think about treating themselves to a romantic evening dinner cruise out of Caribbean Jack's in Daytona Beach. The soft, sub-tropical climate lends itself to this and other activities throughout the year, but the springtime is especially enjoyable with balmy days and cool nights. And by the way, if you are worried about running into rowdy college kids on spring break, don't be. The city council has taken action to discourage such actions and with other choices available, the college crowd has dispersed making Daytona Beach a family-friendly vacation spot any time of the year.
