With borders set to reopen within weeks, Daytona Beach is revving up to welcome foreign travellers once again.

From endless activities to calm, quiet days sunbathing and beachcombing, visitors will find just what they’re looking for in a Florida holiday along the 23 miles of shores. 

With area investments in progress and more hotel, attraction, dining and shopping options than ever, here are the latest attractions Daytona Beach has to offer:

Speedway Indoor Karting (SIK) opened in Daytona Beach in late 2020, and its state-of-the-art electric powered karts give riders of all ages a full racing experience on the 16-turn road course with multiple elevation changes and a slick tri-oval.

Pictona, one of the largest dedicated pickleball facilities in Florida, opened in Holly Hill in 2020 with 24 courts – 8 of them covered with "skybox" viewing – restaurant, clubhouse and more. The facility is currently adding more courts which will open in 2021 and is hosting national and international competitions, including the International Federation of Pickleball’s famous Bainbridge Cup in 2021.
