WHAT TO EXPECT

If you’re in the Daytona Beach region this coming October 6, make your way toward Ormond Beach for an early afternoon of educational exhibits and natural wonder! At the 6^th Annual Tomoka Fest, families flock from all over the county to learn about the area’s natural and cultural resources through hands-on activities, exhibitions, living history demonstrations, guided hikes and so much more. 

Summer might get more attention, but there’s something magical about a fall day in Daytona Beach. The weather is great, the crowds are smaller, and the beaches still go on for miles … 23 miles, to be precise. Whether it’s fun in the sun, shopping, a restorative spa day, going out on the water, or enjoying local arts and culture, you can do just about everything in the fall here that you can do in the summer.

WHERE: Indiana Avenue in Downtown DeLand 

Calling all three-wheelers! Daytona Beach is now hosting an event specifically geared toward you — the Destination Daytona Trike Fest. 

Surrounded by winding rivers, backwater inlets and a big, beautiful ocean, it’s not a mystery why Daytona Beach has attracted so many anglers over the years.

Do you have Labor Day plans? 

If you’re looking for a family-friendly place to relax and play among the area’s wild beauty, explore one of Daytona Beach’s 10 beachfront parks. One of the most scenic of these oceanfront spaces is Lighthouse Point Park, a 52-acre preserve located just a few minutes’ drive south of Daytona Beach. Here, you’ll be able to spot a variety of wildlife, take a dip or do some hiking. Ahead, read about what all you can expect to find. 

Summer may be winding to an end, but the beach days in Daytona Beach are far from over. Thanks to the area’s subtropical climate, mild temps and light breezes, beach-ready weather extends late into the fall. 

Craving a burger? How about a hot dog? Cooking out is a fun way to spend time catching up with family and to enjoy the evening — and unlike some beach destinations, it is allowed right on Daytona Beach!
