Founded in the late 1800s, The Beach and surrounding area was believed to be a valuable investment property for some financial moguls. Mathias Day, the founding father of what was originally called Daytona, built the first hotel in 1874.

The rest as they say, is history. Today Daytona Beach welcomes over 8 million visitors yearly. It is the place where people come to party, race and relax.

No matter what you want in a vacation spot, peace and quiet relaxation on the beach or wild and crazy roar of the Daytona Speedway, you will find it all here, all the time. Daytona Beach is the place to go, to relax, to party and to remember for many years to come.
