Daytona Beach Homes - Remember We Have a Great Beach

It’s very odd, but a tourist who comes to Daytona Beach for a one week vacation, will spend more time on the beach than most year round residents. I live on the mainland, but I sell real estate in Daytona Beach and manage property beachside, so I’m beachside most days. I get to the beach a few times a month, but that’s about it. Yes, I’m busy, but I love the beach.

Daytona Beach has some amazing beaches. The Travel Channel lists it as the number 10 beach in Florida. I rank it number 3 on my list. You can see my list and the Travel Channel list at Florida Beaches rated.

Daytona has a variety of beach styles in its 26 miles of beach. Most of the crowds can be found around the boardwalk. This is where the show takes place with the most vehicle traffic. It can be fun, but I usually go a little further north where it’s not so crowded and the beach is still wide, flat and white. I have several friends who live in condos in Daytona, so it’s natural to visit and take in the beach.

To the north, it’s like your in a different world. There are dunes and the beach is not so flat. You’ll see more people fishing up there. Just go about 3 miles north of Granada Blvd. (SR 40) and you’ll be there.

To the south, Daytona Beach Shores is less crowded than Daytona Beach and the beaches are flat and white and wide. It’s very nice. Further south is Wilbur-by-the-Sea and Ponce Inlet. Ponce Inlet is popular with surfers. The beaches are much less crowded because there are no hotels and only a few restaurants and restaurants.

All Daytona Beach area beaches are public, but driving is not permitted on all areas of the beach. Driving is not permitted north of Granada Blvd. and south from Emilia Avenue in Daytona Beach Shores to Ponce Inlet. Different areas of the beach may be closed due to tides, storms or beach work.

When I’m not busy selling Daytona Beach Homes, I plan to spend more time at the beach. How about you. I hope I see you there.
