"A short drive away in Ormond Beach, Florida, is The Casements, and it’s worth the trip. This was the winter residence of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, and it’s now a park and museum that’s free to the public. This historic attraction doesn’t get its fair share of publicity, in my opinion."

"The 34-mile Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail is in Ormond Beach, just north of Daytona Beach. You can drive, or better yet, motorcycle or cycle the loop, which winds through some of the most spectacular scenery in the area, alternating between oceanfront views and live oak tree canopies. Head north and admire the beachfront and barrier island dunes, keeping an eye out near Spanish Waters Drive for the Ormond Beach WWII Submarine Watchtower. Erected in 1942, this wooden watchtower is one of the last left of its kind."

"For diehard race fans, Daytona International Speedway is one of the country’s racing meccas, and tickets to its namesake event can be hard to come by and painfully expensive. For those who’d like to get an up-close-and-personal look at the iconic speedway without paying an arm and a leg and fighting hundreds of thousands of screaming and inebriated race fans, there are plenty of options. Tours of the facility last anywhere from half an hour to three hours, and some of the more VIP-experiences even offer a lap or two around the track at relatively high speeds."

"First on our list of things to do in Daytona Beach, it’s the Daytona International Speedway. This is by far, one of the most popular things to do in Daytona Beach – and people visit from all over the country just to visit. Daytona International Speedway is a race track, that much is obvious, but it’s one of the best of its kind, and since it opened way back in 1959, it has been the celebrated home of the Daytona 500!"
