This amazing 23-mile stretch of wide, white sand beach has long been one of the hottest spring break destinations in Florida. Spring breakers can take a drive down 16 miles of this world famous beach, catch some rays or ride the waves in the Atlantic surf.

Daytona Beach offers some of the wildest nightlife with nightclubs like the Ocean Deck, Razzles and many more.

Other than the beach and sponsored activities planned around spring break, there are few entertainment choices. Daytona Lagoon is a popular water and amusement park and the Daytona 500 Experience located adjacent to the Daytona International Speedway are the most popular. Other activities include water tours and water craft rentals.

Of course, let's not forget that Daytona Beach is only about 60 miles from Orlando's theme parks — Disney World, Universal Orlando and SeaWorld Orlando.
