General presentation
Daytona Beach et Ormond
Rolling beaches, car culture and monumental lighthouse on the central coast of Florida.
Daytona International Speedway, Daytona Beach and Ponce by Leon Inlet Light give the most telling landmarks of Daytona Beach and Ormond. Together, they form a destination where the coastline, urban life and heritage meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than a single uniform decor.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Major site
Daytona International Speedway
The Daytona International Speedway remains a large-scale landmark for American auto-raced culture, with its stands, garages and track geometry permanently. Even out of competition, strolling reveals the language of an architecture designed for collective intensity.
Culture and heritage
Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach has a very wide and hardened beach, historically invested by speed, whose automobile use remains memorable on some areas. The driveways, pier and promenade form a clear seaside version, especially pleasant outside the peaks of events.
Culture and heritage
Ponce de Leon Inlet Light
Ponce de Leon Inlet Light overlooks the mouth with its height and red tower, offering a wide view of the sea entrance and the Atlantic. Ascension of the 203 steps leads to a very direct panoramic reading of the local navigation conditions.
Culture and heritage
Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail
Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail draws a quiet loop between oak tunnels, marshes, lagoons and discreet access to the Atlantic. The road changes the tone of the coast around Daytona, less oriented towards hard sand and speed than towards trees and calm waters. It is enjoyed mainly by slow car, bike or short stops at natural points.
