 Daytona Beach
23 miles of hard packed sand and a history of auto racing on the
beach is what gives Daytona Beach a special reputation. Rent a dune
buggy or ATV or drive your own car on the famous beach and enjoy the
sights.Beach driving is allowed during daylight hours from one
hour after sunrise to one hour before sunset, with the exception of
turtle nesting season, which runs from May 1, through October 31, at
which time the hours are set from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Beach
driving conditions are sometimes poor during high tides and the
beach may be closed to vehicles. The speed limit on the beach is ten
miles per hour. 
Be careful when walking on the beach. As you can see from the
pictures above, the beach isn't as wide as it once was and quite
often there isn't much walking room except in the surf.
 Just south of Daytona
Beach is New Smyrna Beach and the
Canaveral National Seashore,
(link requires Adobe Acrobat Reader), managed by the National Park
Service. Visitors may enjoy walking the nature and historical trails
during the cool winter months. Throughout the year opportunity for
recreational activities include; lagoon and surf fishing, boating,
canoeing, surfing, sunbathing, swimming, hiking, horseback riding
and backcountry camping.
