Daytona 500!

 

Daytona Beach Shores

It’s almost time for the Daytona 500! Events may look a little different this year, including limited venue capacity, but we still expect a thrilling experience! Here are some of the most popular events:

  • Rolex 24 at the Daytona International Speedway (January 28th-31st): This endurance sports car classic has attracted racing legends since 1962. From sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, this twice-around-the-clock marathon is intense!
  • Historic North Turn Legends Beach Parade (February 6th): This free event is held in honor of Daytona’s historic beach racing days. Vintage race cars from 1936-1958 will parade down the beach beginning at 10:30 a.m.
  • And the big one… Daytona 500! (February 14th): This event usually sells out, so make your plans now. Or start planning for 2022!

Another popular choice? Hanging at our beachside pool while grilling on the BBQs and then catching some shade under our beautiful tiki huts… enjoy!
