Summer 

This is one of the busiest times of the year in the city, with everyone from in-state to out-of-state visitors flocking to the shores of Daytona Beach. This increases the demand for businesses to cover every aspect of the tourist experience so that visitors don’t have to leave the city or get a subpar experience because they feel they “can’t do better”. So the government allocates funds to help establish and grow tourist-oriented businesses throughout their biggest cities to increase their overall tourist value. 

This puts you in luck. Daytona Beach now offers more activities than it has ever had, and Summer is the best time to experience all of them. So if you happen to be here during the summer, you would want to check out the following activities:

Visit Daytona Boardwalk 

The famous Daytona Beach Boardwalk is the heart and soul of Daytona Beach. During the summer, you will find many different types of activities going on here, from magic shows, musicians, and singers to any number of interesting characters and fun events throughout the day. 

There are two great Arcades on the Boardwalk: Mardi Gras and JoyLand Arcade. You can go inside and challenge your friends to any number of different games. Both of these places also offer food and, since the owners are Greek, they also serve excellent Gyros for fans of the popular food.

This place offers a variety of gorgeous spots to sit at and watch the sunset while breathing in the fresh ocean air.

If you get bored of driving it on the beach, you can drive it on A1A and get a taste of the town. The slingshot is not really recommended to be driven on the beach, so you’ll want to stick to driving it on the roads to get the best experience out of it. You can drive it through the loop in Ormond Beach, experiencing the beautiful local nature, as well as drive it all the way to Ponce Inlet or Flagler Beach to absorb the beach life.

Rent a Jet Ski or a Boat

Imagine catching something big and posting fantastic photos and videos on your social media. Your friends and family would appreciate the fun that picture would describe. 

If you don’t want any of that, you can always rent a surfboard or paddle board. The majority of the time, people rent paddle boards to cruise around the river. If you rent a surfboard, you can surf the ocean waters, too.

Mini Golf on The Beach 

There are two mini golf areas on A1A you should consider. One of them is in Ormond Beach and the other towards Port Orange.
