One of America's few remaining unspoiled island paradises,

Amelia Island offers a wide variety of attractions to its many visitors. Its rich history, 13 miles of uncrowded beaches, lush, natural setting, moss-covered oaks, unparalleled golf, boating, and fishing, stunning sunrises and sunsets, and friendly "locals" make it more than just a place to visit.

The excitement begins on the beach, which spans nearly 23 miles from Ormond Beach to Daytona Beach and Ponce Inlet. If you dream of riding the waves, the smooth sand and Atlantic surf combine to make this one of the best surfing spots on the East Coast. Accessing the beach with a car or rented beach buggy is a fun and distinctly Daytona Beach experience with 16 miles available for driving with pedestrian only zones located at various intervals. For some, "picking up the pace" may mean an exhilarating day of shopping in the historic downtown or new oceanfront shopping and dining district, venturing out to sophisticated night spots or playing a round of golf.

If you're seeking a back-to-nature experience, stop by one of the local parks or nature preserves. The area's waterways entice many to enjoy a leisurely boat cruise along the Halifax River. The Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River also provide anglers a variety of fishing opportunities year-round, from the estuaries and the surf to deep-sea charters. Daytona Beach also boasts a variety of historical attractions and fine museums.

Whether you prefer soaking in some rays on the gorgeous white-sand beaches, high-speed laps around the Speedway or exploring the area's colourful history and culture, Daytona Beach offers an incredible variety of vacation options.
