When vacationing in Volusia County the main attraction that draws millions of visitors each year is our stunning beaches. From New Syrmna Bech to Flager Beach our coastline is like no other in America. What makes our coastline so unique is that in some sections of the beach you can drive your car on it. We also offer no-drive beaches. Some spots are full of families having fun, food trucks, and much activity, while others are low-key and almost deserted. No matter your personality, our beaches have something to offer.
Consider if you would like to drive on the beach. In that case, you will have everything at your fingertips. Some beach parking lots offer bathrooms, outdoor showers, playgrounds, splash pads, and even concession stands.
So be sure to map out the beach experience you are wanting beforehand so you can fully enjoy the warm waters this summer stress-free.
