COQUINA CLOCK TOWER

The Coquina Clock Tower, located near the oceanfront Daytona Beach Bandshell, has been a symbolic landmark for the “World’s Most Famous Beach” since 1938. The unique design of the clockface that features the letters D-A-Y-T-O-N-A-B-E-A-C-H instead of twelve numerals, is a popular spot to meet up with friends and family when at the Daytona Beach Boardwalk. Built from native Florida coquina that was quarried locally, the clock tower is one of many iconic photo ops throughout the area.
