Daytona beach
10 Zalik RPT

Well, well, well, look who's surprised by Daytona beach! Yours truly. I must admit, I was pleasantly taken aback by the beach. The water was a delight to swim in, and the relaxation was top-notch. The family vibes were real, and the whole atmosphere was just so chill. The sand was white as snow, and the water was clear as crystal, just the way I like it. Needless to say, I would love to go back and visit again!

Andy Romano beach

We absolutely adore this section of Ormond Beach! Although Hurricane Ian left its mark, we are confident that the restoration process will bring back its former splendor in no time. The picnic areas and grilling stations are top-notch, providing the perfect setting for a delightful outdoor feast. Additionally, the splash pad is a charming little feature that adds to the overall appeal of the beach.

There are plenty of free amenities at this beach park, including parking, a playground, pavilions, picnic tables, restrooms, and showers.

Mary M. Bethune beach Park

This particular beach stands out from the rest as it offers free parking, which is a rarity these days. However, it is advisable to wear flip-flops as there are numerous shells scattered across the sandy shore. Apart from that, there are no major grievances to report, and I would definitely visit this beach again.

This charming beach is a hidden gem that is not overly crowded, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing day in the sun. I highly suggest choosing this beach over Daytona, especially since it's only a short 5-minute drive away.
