Looking ahead to warm summer days? If you’ll be visiting Daytona, here are a few of our favorite summer events:

Daytona Tortugas baseball season! Head over to Jackie Robinson baseball field — after the games, kids are allowed to run the bases! Find the game schedule here.
Visit the Ponce De Leon Inlet Light Station and climb to the top of Florida’s tallest lighthouse. The views are spectacular!
Over on the boardwalk, enjoy the Daytona Beach Bandshell Concerts. Although the schedule is limited this year, this is always a wonderful venue for live music. Find the current schedule here.

Looking for a unique breakfast experience, wildlife, boating and history? Not far from Daytona Beach Shores is De Leon Springs State Park, the area where legend says that Ponce de Leon discovered the Fountain of Youth. Start your visit with breakfast at the Old Spanish Sugar Mill Grill and Griddle House. Every table is equipped with a griddle; order a pitcher of homemade batter and cook your own pancakes. Then rent a paddle boat, canoe, kayak or tube, and float through over 1,000 acres of lakes, streams and canals. There are also historical and ecological tours. It’s easy to plan an entire day around this beautiful and fascinating area.
