Welcome to Daytona Beach page 2
Daytona Beach offers visitors unique glimpses into the past through the preservation of various historic districts, the most popular being on Beach Street. There are architectural landmarks throughout the historic district on Beach Street, housing quaint shops, antique stores, and the famous Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory. The Halifax Historical Society Museum is located at 252 S. Beach Street, in the Merchants Bank Building dating from 1911.
Take a visit inside to see firsthand the history of Daytona Beach, including old Florida postcards, racing photographs, and an eight hundred year old canoe, possibly one of Florida's indigenous tribe flotation vessels used for fishing on the Halifax River.
Boats pull up to the Halifax Harbor Marina, dock and go into the many fine shops and restaurants within walking distance of the Marina. There is also a good walking area around the marina, where a large number of grand boats bob methodically up and down on the peaceful water.
On International Speedway Boulevard, easily accessible from I-95 and Ridgewood Avenue (US-1), beats the heart of the Daytona 500. Fast cars are not the only thing zooming around a track. Check out the Daytona Beach Kennel Club and Poker Room, practically next door to the International Speedway.
Embry Riddle Aeronautical University and Daytona State College offer some interesting courses to their students. Embry Riddle Aeronautical University is world famous for its aeronautical program. Not many colleges in the United States have a surfing team, and DSC has had various surfing teams throughout the years. DSC is also known for its photography exhibits. This comes as no surprise, for there are plenty of picturesque scenes to photograph in Daytona Beach!
