When your skies are gray and the daily grind becomes too much to bear, break away to a beach vacation in sunny Daytona Beach!

A winter getaway is a smart choice on many levels: hotels are often discounted, there are fewer visitors vying for the same attractions on your must-see list, and the weather is pleasantly mild.

Get away for a family escape in Daytona Beach, and you can expect a vacation filled with sunning, funning, exploring and a lot of wonderful value for your money. You know what else your tribe can expect? Plenty of awesome ways for your family to reconnect with the outdoors and each other. 

From stock cars and sunshine to sugar cane mills, Daytona Beach has a deep and colorful history — and it’s all waiting for you to explore. Although there are a variety of museums and guided tours throughout the area, one way to experience Daytona Beach’s rich history and culture is to hop in the car and drive! If you have a full day to spend on your excursion, consider following the five-stop route below. Of course, depending on the day or season, you may want to add to or omit a destination on this list. 

If you are looking for some beachside family fun, head to the iconic Daytona Beach Boardwalk! Your family will be able to spend hours upon hours at this entertainment hub, all accompanied by the ocean breeze. 

One of the best things about a fall getaway by the beach is that the whole place feels serene and refreshed — as if the beach has come up for air after a summer of surfboards, sandy strolls and splashing. A couple things unique to Daytona Beach are its wide, expansive beaches and its fun downtown area, each of which tend to stay uncrowded all year long. Visitors don’t have to feel like they’re in a crowd everywhere they turn, because there’s plenty of elbow room for all!
