From the smell of its cool, salty ocean breezes to the roaring of racecar engines in the distance, Daytona Beach Shores offers a vibe unlike anywhere else in the world. An iconic destination for beachgoers and adrenaline junkies alike, Daytona Beach Shores is also a popular landing spot for those seeking a coastal lifestyle. Incorporated as a city in 1960, Daytona Beach Shores is now home to over 5,000 residents while millions visit each year for vacations and holidays. The Daytona Beach International Airport is only a short drive away, and Florida State Road A1A, (also known simply as the A1A) connects to many of Florida's oceanside communities. However, given its massive influx of yearly visitors, traffic can be hectic.
Daytona Beach Shores has small waves with blue water.

Play sports at McElroy Park in Daytona Beach Shores.
Locals frequent Lula M. McElroy Park to play sports
It's nearly impossible to be bored in Daytona Beach Shores. While locals jog and rollerblade along the Daytona Beach Boardwalk, others set up shop on the pier to reel in a bluefish and trout or park on the sand at "the world's most famous beach." Lula M. McElroy Park is one of Daytona Beach Shores' hidden gems, serving as a hot spot for pickup basketball games and friendly tennis matches. With a storied history as one of the top racing destinations on the planet, Daytona International Speedway serves as one of the primary draws to the area. Just 5 miles west of the oceanfront, the speedway, which can accommodate over 100,000 spectators, hosts the annual Daytona 500, serving as the NASCAR Cup Series season opener. The speedway also hosts Welcome to Rockville — an annual, four-day music festival featuring top rock and metal acts from Avenged Sevenfold and Pantera to Kiss and Metallica.
A diverse housing inventory, from bungalows to oceanside mansions
Homebuyers will have a smorgasbord of styles to choose from in Daytona Beach Shores. Bungalows and ranch-style homes constructed between the 1950s and '70s sit alongside towering hotels and condominiums, though larger estates featuring Mediterranean accents and access to the Halifax River line Peninsula Drive. Many homes price between $300,000 and $700,000, but properties closer to the water usually sell for millions. It's not uncommon for residents to rent out their homes for out-of-town vacationers, though Daytona Beach Shores is also a popular permanent destination for those looking to escape colder climates. "Most homebuyers are moving down from up north and out west," says local Realtor Lori Schultz of Premier Sotheby International Realty, who has over five years of experience working in real estate. "New residents are usually primary full-time residents in Daytona proper."

Numerous restaurants and stores line the A1A
Daytona Beach Shores is brimming with shopping and dining options along Florida State Road A1A (also known simply as "the A1A"). Publix and Winn-Dixie are the usual stops for groceries, while several big-box retailers can be found at Bellair Plaza. The area has an acclaimed seafood restaurant seemingly on every corner. Crabby’s Oceanside offers picturesque views of the oceanfront, while The Oyster Pub is a top spot for shrimp and clams on Seabreeze Boulevard. Cow Lick's is another area favorite, serving ice cream to Daytona Beach Shores since 2001. And when the sun goes down, Razzle's comes alive as one of Daytona's premier nightclubs.

Easy access to the A1A and the airport make for easy traveling
The A1A serves as Daytona Beach Shores' main road. Lined with sidewalks, the A1A is a top destination for joggers and cyclists alike. However, during the Daytona 500 and other major events, traffic can be very heavy. Many locals get around by car, but numerous Votran bus stops are featured along the A1A, while residents also benefit from proximity to Daytona Beach International Airport, which sits just 5 miles west on the mainland.

Daytona Beach Shores has been impacted by hurricanes in the past
Daytona isn't impacted by hurricanes nearly as much as South Florida, but major storms still pose a significant threat. In 2022, Hurricane Ian and Nicole roared through the community, causing considerable damage to oceanfront properties. Like many coastal areas, Daytona Beach Shores is prone to flooding from both the ocean and the Halifax River on its west side. During hurricane season, locals are advised to stock up on supplies in preparation for potential storms.
