newdaytona_nationalretailers_CVisitors are discovering a new Daytona Beach—an exciting chapter in the destination’s history showcasing its racing heritage, idyllic East Coast oceanfront location and impressive arts affiliation. The area is in the midst of investing nearly $2 billion in renovations and construction, all of which make for an even more exciting vacation stay. Currently underway is a $400 million renovation project at Daytona International Speedway slated for early 2016 completion. In the planning stage are a new Hard Rock Hotel & Café and an upscale Westin. These additions—and an eclectic culinary scene, off-the-beaten-path attractions for thrill seekers and year-round cultural events—offer visitors unexpected delights on their Florida beach vacation.

JetBlue Airways launched a new route to Daytona Beach International Airport (DAB) in January 2016. The airline now offers daily non-stop service from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) providing the Daytona Beach area with direct flights to New York City.

The Daytona Beach area’s culinary scene is experiencing a steady influx of exciting new offerings—from off-the-beaten-path eateries to independent restaurants serving specialty fare. Be sure to explore the newest addition to the mix, the Daytona Beach Ale Trail.

The historic Streamline Hotel, an art deco-style property that once hosted the meeting that launched NASCAR as well as a recent episode of Hotel Impossible, will be opening as an upscale beachside boutique property in 2016.

Love to Shop?

Tanger Outlets recently announced plans for a new Outlet Mall in Daytona Beach that is expected to open in time for the 2016 holiday shopping season.

Recently ranked in the top 15 places to play golf in the U.S., Daytona Beach offers numerous courses for the serious player and weekend warrior. With year-round, affordable greens fees, visitors can choose to play where the pros do—LPGA International, home course of the LPGA and Symetra Tours—or choose from more than 20 other fine courses, all participating in Discover Daytona Beach Golf.

Thrill Seekers Enjoy High-Speed Attractions

Daytona Beach offers visitors plenty of adventure that you won’t find at any other beach destination. How about ziplining through the treetops at ZoomAir Adventure Park? Or, if your need for speed would be better served on the ground, then get behind the wheel of a racecar at the Richard Petty Driving Experience (pictured) taking a lap around the world famous 2.5-mile Daytona International Speedway. And speaking of speed, the Motorsports Hall of Fame is slated to open this summer at the Speedway.
