Favorite things to do in Daytona Beach & Ormond Beach
I love how much there is to do in the area. Catching Tortugas baseball games at Jackie Robinson Ballpark is always a highlight. I really enjoy exploring local trails and nature preserves like Tomoka State Park, walking shaded paths, and taking in the wildlife. And honestly, sunrise and sunset on the beach never get old—those moments are unbeatable.

Favorite group or team experience
Daytona does big energy well—events like the Daytona 500, Supercross, and Bike Week are unforgettable even if you’re there just for the atmosphere. For something more relaxed, I love group outings that connect us to nature, like scenic walks, lighthouse visits, or mini-golf with baby gators (because Florida). Baseball games, waterfront views, and good company always make for a great day.
