Located on a barrier island on the Atlantic Ocean (also
known as A1A), just about 6 miles long and only a few hundred yards wide,
Daytona Beach Shores features a pristine beach where famed race car drivers
once vied to set world speed records. The population here grows from 3,000
in the summer to 16,000 in the winter.
But with tourism as the chief industry, inhabitants
grow to about 30,000 during major events throughout the year that are just a
short drive away at the Daytona International Speedway. Although Daytona
Beach Shores shares many of its facilities and services located in Daytona
Beach, it has plenty to offer of its own. Fun activities abound here,
including deep sea fishing excursions, park and recreation sites, museums,
parasailing and golfing. Or you can just sit back and relax, enjoying a
tranquil lifestyle or retirement.
Daytona Beach Shores real estate options fit every
budget, including budgets that can afford luxury condominiums, condotels,
townhouses, planned community residential property and single-family homes
for sale on the ocean, river or inland. The Downtown Partnership Daytona
features Old World riverfront boutiques, nightclubs, art galleries and
antiques, in addition to award-winning restaurants and chefs serving up
everything from fine dining to the fun-filled atmosphere of casual,
beachfront fares. Students attend schools in Daytona Beach that are
consistently ranked above the state average.
Local colleges include Bethune Cookman College, Daytona
State College, Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Keiser University,
Stetson University, and the University of Central Florida.
