Square Miles
The City of Daytona
Beach Shores, incorporated in 1967, is a 5.5-mile strip of high-rise
condominiums, hotels, motels, townhomes, and single-family residences located between the
Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River. The City’s population has more than tripled in
the last two decades, as greater numbers of people desire to live along the beach.
With tourism as the chief industry, the
City’s daily population in tourist season and during special events such as Bike Week
and Speed Weeks often climbs to over 30,000. The majority of the City’s residents
live in condominiums and construction of new buildings remains strong. The City operates a
Public Safety Department whose officers are triple trained as police, firefighters and
EMTs. Residents enjoy a high quality of like, with amenities like a public tennis facility
and Oceanside parks, while the City tax rate remains among the lowest in the county.
