Cheap Flights to Daytona Beach

Daytona Beach overview

Synonymous with College Spring Break and the Daytona 500, the 23-mile long Daytona Beach stretch on the east side of Florida is one of the most travelled to destinations in the U.S. Families flock to Daytona Beach during the off-season for a relaxing holiday, while Spring Breakers book Daytona Beach flights for the ultimate party on the beach and a chance appearance on the notorious MTV Beach House.

There's so much do here, it's no wonder Daytona Beach flights are packed year-round. Go surfing, jet skiing, parasailing, lounge on the beach or take a walk down the boardwalk. Rent a convertible and go cruising along the beach with the other beach-cruisers. You can only drive 10 miles-per-hour, but the sights and sounds are endless. If you feel the need for speed, head to the world-famous Daytona International Speedway, where the annual Daytona 500 is held every year.

For a more relaxing beach trip, visit during the off-season (summer and fall) and fill your days with mini-golf, museums or a drive to the Kennedy Space Center, located only an hour away from Daytona.
