Driving on the beach, Daytona Beach Florida

driving on daytona beach nascarIn Daytona Beach FL, we have the privilege of driving on our beaches. How many places can boast of that? And here's an interesting bit of history: In the early years of Nascar, drag races were actually held directly on the beach. For more information on Nascar and other interesting Daytona Beach facts, read my post titled Daytona Beach Florida-Vacation and Second Home Destination. This post is also great if you're considering investing in real estate in the Daytona Beach area.

Since the early days of Nascar are long gone, and Daytona Beach has become a hot spot for family vacations, the beach speed limit on Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, and Daytona Beach Shores is now 5-10 mph, for the safety of the beach goers. Also for public safety, beach ramps are closed when the tide gets too high, or the weather too extreme. If rising tides reduce the driving lanes to less than 30 feet, the Beach Patrol will temporarily close the beach to all driving and parking, until conditions improve.photo of daytona beach fl

While most people recognize that driving on our beaches is a privilege, and are respectful of the rules, there are always those who don't like to abide by the rules. And for these people the Beach Patrol will issue citations. But I'm sure you're not one of these people.

If you're not familiar with the Daytona Beach area, you'll be surprised to know that Daytona Beach itself is relatively small. What most people consider to be Daytona Beach is actually several small cities in close proximity to each other. For more information on these different cities, read my post titled Daytona Beach Florida-A Comprehensive Distinction Between the Surrounding Cities.
