About This Beach
Daytona Beach is a long stretch of white sand known for its unique feature of allowing cars to drive directly onto the hard-packed sand. The beach offers a mix of lively activity and relaxation, with rentals, restaurants, and a pier nearby, but experiences can vary widely depending on location, time of year, and specific events. While generally well-maintained in parts, some areas show signs of wear and require maintenance to enhance its appeal.
