Daytona Beach: the beach you are allowed to drive on
Hard-packed sand, the birthplace of NASCAR and beachfront prices a fraction of South Florida.

Daytona BeachWho this is for
For buyers who want the ocean without South Florida prices and do not mind two loud weeks a year
The sand at Daytona is packed hard enough to carry a car, which is why racers came here a century ago and why NASCAR was founded in a hotel bar on this beach. You can still drive onto marked stretches for a daily fee. Twice a year the Speedway and Bike Week fill every room in town, and the rest of the time it is an ordinary working city with a university, a long boardwalk and oceanfront condominiums that cost a fraction of what the same view costs four hours south.
