Daytona Beach Attractions
Daytona Beach, famed for the 20 mile/32km stretch of firm sand on which Malcolm Campbell five times broke the world land speed record, now also has an international racing circuit, the Daytona International Speedway. A recent tradition has been the "spring break" during the university vacation (beginning of March to Easter), when hundreds of thousands of young people converge on Daytona. The scene is dominated by brilliantly chrome-plated motorcycles, convertibles, beach buggies, jeeps and pickups and there are almost daily rock music concerts.
