Maybe it’s a mood thing. Do you prefer to go to the same stretch of sand time and time again when you go to the beach? Or, when someone says “let’s go to the beach!” do you envision peace and tranquility one day and maybe frivolity and fried foods the next? One thing’s for sure – Daytona Beach time is happy time. 

The pristine waterways of the Daytona Beach area are truly delightful addition to any vacation experience. And whether it's high-energy adventure or peaceful mindfulness you're seeking, the best way to immerse yourself in these aquatic settings is via a kayak or canoe. 

I remember the first time I had Buffalo Shrimp. I was totally bowled over by the sheer genius-ness of it. Genius if only because you could grab onto the tail, fit one entire shrimp in your mouth and not waste an ounce of hot sauce on your hands and face. Practically mess-free and deep down delicious! 

Get your adrenaline going! Daytona International Speedway - the World Center of Racing is fast-becoming the World Center of Entertainment, and its $400-million refurbishment is nearly complete.

Experience the world's largest collection of Florida art! The Cici and Hyatt Brown Museum of Art opened on the grounds of Smithsonian-affiliated Museum of Arts & Sciences. It's a $13 million facility filled with 2,700 paintings dating from the 19th century, the most extensive collection of Florida art in the world.

As every fun filled year comes to an end, a new one begins. It's up to you to create "the filler."

I was honored to have an extremely unique guest aboard my vessel, "The Good Life." A guest from far away. As far as Canada to be exact. Her name is Lola and she carries a note pad and camera basically everywhere she goes.
