A lot of vacation.
Beach mornings, waterfront afternoons, and a few new favorite places. Find your kind of fun around Daytona Beach.
Things to Do with the Family
Mix your beach days with an outing that gives everyone something new to discover.
Explore Ponce Inlet
Visit the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and Museum for a look at the area's maritime history. The nearby Marine Science Center offers educational exhibits and opportunities to learn about sea turtle and seabird rehabilitation. Visit the Marine Science Center visitor guide to plan your stop.
Spend time at the Riverfront Esplanade
Head to downtown Daytona Beach for waterfront paths, gardens, and a splash pad. It is an option for a change of pace from the sand, with space to walk along the Halifax River.
For your home base, explore Daytona Beach Shores vacation rentals or compare all available rentals.
Couples Getaways and Outdoor Escapes
Leave some room in your plans for a slower afternoon, a waterfront walk, or a day exploring the area beyond your rental.
A waterfront afternoon in Daytona Beach
Walk the Riverfront Esplanade gardens and paths, then make time for dinner or a stop along Beach Street. Check the official calendar if you would like to include an event during your visit.
Explore the natural side of Ormond Beach
Tomoka State Park offers a nature trail, birdwatching, and opportunities for canoeing, boating, and fishing. Choose an outing that fits your interests and check current visitor information before you go.
Compare Ormond Beach rentals, Flagler Beach rentals, and Palm Coast rentals to choose the setting for your getaway.
Local Outings with Your Dog
A great trip with your dog starts with the right rental and a plan for the places you can visit together. Confirm your home's pet policy and review the official visitor information for each outing.
Smyrna Dunes Park in New Smyrna Beach
The park offers scenic overlooks and a designated dog-friendly swimming beach along the river shore. Dog access differs between park areas, so review the county's current guidance and follow posted signs.
Riverfront Esplanade dog park
The downtown Daytona Beach esplanade includes a dog park with an agility course. Review its current visitor information and posted rules before visiting with your dog.
For beach outings in Volusia County, check the official dog-friendly beach locations and guidance. Pet-friendly accommodation does not mean every nearby beach allows dogs.
Make the Most of Your Stay
Check official attraction websites for current hours, admission, access, and operating updates before heading out. Activities are offered by their respective operators and are not included with your rental unless your reservation specifically says so.
