Destination Daytona Beach: Timeshares for the Family

For many years, Daytona Beach, Florida, was plagued with a reputation for rowdy, beer-guzzling, college-age spring breakers. But it has shed that image (thanks to strategic marketing) and is now a safe, fun place for families to take young children–even during traditional college spring break times, such as the middle to end of March.
The coastal city’s slogan is “Way More than a Beach.” Although its 23 miles of gorgeous beaches are what the city is best known for, Daytona Beach also offers families a bunch of adventures and activities. Kiddos (and adults!) who love an adrenaline rush need to check out the Daytona 500 Experience at the Daytona International Speedway, which includes a NASCAR 3D Movie. The multi-faceted attraction gives visitors a journey through racing history. Or ride shotgun 150 miles an hour around the Speedway racetrack with the Richard Petty Driving Experience (you must be at least 14 years old to participate).
Visit Marineland, the world’s oldest “oceanarium,” dating back to 1938. Here, kids can not only view the myriad marine life, but also swim with dolphins at its Dolphin Conservation Center. Teenagers can be a “Trainer for a Day.” Another historic site in Daytona, the Angel & Phelps Chocolate Factory, has been crafting delicious treats since 1925. Take a free factory tour and try the free samples!

Many Daytona Beach timeshares are right on the beach, giving you easy access to family-friendly ocean activities: surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, sea kayaking and fishing. Perhaps you’d like to ride a thrilling jet boat or take a more relaxing riverboat excursion. Land-based family fun includes go-karts, laser tag and mini golf, or the whole crew can rent bikes–from beach cruisers to recumbent bikes–and cycle along the coast, taking in the sights.
