A resort-style coastal city home to the Daytona International Speedway
Daytona Beach earned its nickname, the “World’s Most Famous Beach,” in the early 1900s when land speed racers first discovered its hard-packed sandy coastline. Over the years, the city on Florida's east coast served as a mecca for race car drivers, and in 1959, the Daytona International Speedway became the headquarters for NASCAR. Today, much of the city’s economy revolves around racing, hosting events like the DAYTONA 500 and Bike Week. And with drive-on beaches, amusement parks and plenty of golf courses, Daytona Beach attracts millions of tourists all year long.
