Daytona Beach, FL Exit 261: If you’re looking for good old-fashioned fun and no entrance fees, the Daytona Beach Pier and Boardwalk is 23 miles of sparkling white sand, from Ocean Walk Shoppes, north, to Main Street, south, filled with yesteryear simplicity.
Stroll along the Boardwalk enjoying the array of street performers and family friendly activities. Appreciate some nostalgia at one of the iconic arcades – with classic favorites as Skeeball and Pac Man.
Take one of the thrilling rides such as the SandBlaster, an 80- foot- high roller coaster with 2,710 feet of track and a 65 foot drop, giant Ferris Wheel, for a great view of the beach from 100 feet up, the Slingshot– a bungee-like ride, the Hurricane or Tilt-A-Wheel. There is also an assortment of kiddie rides from tugboats, little horses and buggies, and even mini hand-gliders.
Worked up an appetite playing some beach volleyball? Have an award-winning burger at the Ocean Deck, or decide if it’s one-slice or two at Pizza King. How about some dessert, there’s Zeno Boardwalk Sweet Shop for yummy saltwater taffy and fudge.
Take in a FREE concert weekends at the historic Bandshell and the Firework display every Saturday night at 9:45 from Memorial Day through Labor Day,
