Daytona Beach

67 Square Miles
Daytona Beach is known internationally as the "World's Most Famous Beach" and the "World Center of Racing." These images often overshadow its role as a center for business, education, cultural and entertainment activities for a large portion of North Central Coastal Florida.

Daytona Beach is a modern, growing community boasting six universities and colleges, the soon to be expanded Ocean Center, a revitalized downtown, a 500-slip marina and a wide spectrum of advantages for business expansion.
