After visiting Daytona Beach on countless occasions, and living just a short drive away, I can honestly say I feel like a local of this beautiful town. It wasn’t easy, but I’ve narrowed down my favorite things to do in Daytona Beach to just 25. Here it goes:

1. Visit Daytona International Speedway

No visit to Daytona Beach is complete without a visit to the inspiring Daytona International Speedway. This historic raceway hosts the Daytona 500 every year which is the NASCAR Cup Series season-opening race.

The Daytona International Speedway is also home to some amazing events such as the Rockville Music Festival – one of my favorites.

Even if you aren’t able to visit the Daytona Speedway when it’s hosting one of the many venues or events, you can still enjoy a guided tour where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the history and explore the track.
