Daytona Beach Shores

Daytona Beach Shores – Located on a barrier island on the Atlantic Ocean, Daytona Beach Shores is only 5.5 miles long and just a few yards wide.  Its pristine beach is the backdrop for many high rise condominiums, single family homes, townhouses, hotels and motels.   The casual beachside lifestyle afforded by condo living, beckons large numbers of seasonal residents whose numbers swell in the winter months to over 30,000 and wane in the spring and summer. Known for many years for auto racing on its hard packed sand, Daytona Beach Shores shares the history of Sir Malcolm Campbell’s 1935 land speed record which was set right on these area beaches.  Of interest, is a racing walk of fame with memorial bricks for drivers, mechanics and others associated with racing, which was developed by the Living Legends of Auto Racing and the Daytona Beach Shores Chamber of Commerce.
