Best Things to Do in Daytona

Of course, catching a race at the Daytona International Speedway is the city's top activity, but several fun alternatives make non-race weeks still exciting. Visit and partake in the Richard Petty Driving Experience, where you can drive actual NASCAR racecars on the actual track. Those who don't enjoy the smell of gasoline and burnt rubber usually prefer the seaside scents available on Daytona's 20 miles of shoreline. Sightseers will be overall disappointed, but the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse will be some consolation.
