| Daytona Beach,
Florida |
|
Volusia County claims 47 miles of Atlantic Ocean coastline
and includes the beachfront city of Daytona Beach.
The racing tradition is very strong in Daytona, thanks to
Daytona International Speedway, one of the world's finest racing facilities
and home of the world-famous Daytona 500 (February 18), an event larger than
the Super Bowl.
But there's so much more to Daytona than racing, Daytona is
making strides into the golf community by being the headquarters of the LPGA
and golf course. Beyond sports and Spring Break, there's Florida's
natural beauty. Be on the lookout for the endangered Florida manatee plus all
the incredible Daytona beaches.
