Beaches

Where to go if you want to swim in an ocean. I do have some canopies I can let you borrow for the beach. Sun is intense.

If you feel like you must go to Daytona than boardwalk is a busy place with a lot to offer. Personally I would avoid Daytona unless I am coming for an event. (It is dirty, has cars on the beach and overall not a nice town)
