Daytona Beach is a city in Volusia County, Florida, United States.
It lies approximately 51 miles northeast of Orlando, 86 miles southeast of Jacksonville, and 265 miles northwest of Miami.
The city is historically known for its beach, where the hard-packed sand allows motorized vehicles to drive on the beach in restricted areas.
This hard-packed sand made Daytona Beach a mecca for motorsports, and home since 1959 by Daytona International Speedway.
The city is also the headquarters for NASCAR.
