You have arrived in Daytona Beach, you are unpacked, and you head outdoors to soak in some Vitamin D and to enjoy the scenery. Imagine you are sitting on the beach, taking in the sunset with your friends as you watch the powerful water crashing against the sandy beach. The waves roll in and out and your thoughts roll onto what is next in this action-packed Daytona Beach adventure. After you finish sipping your drinks on the beach, you decide it’s time to head inside and get ready for a night out.
Iconic Piers & Adventures

Word on the beachside is that the 2 iconic piers are perfect for food, drinks, and fun so you all are headed off to Daytona Beach Pier and Sunglow Pier.
The Boardwalk and Pier are perfect for premiere entertainment, outdoor and indoor rides and just to let all your cares go. When was the last time you just let it all go? Do you remember .25 arcades? You just found them so it’s time to create some friendly competition on the arcade games and travel back in the day when life was so much more carefree.
After you finish playing, hunger is sure to set in and the answer is a few steps away. Dump the daily diet you keep and have a little bit of party food with cuts of pizza and some drinks. Now top the night off with a ride that will keep you all talking about the ‘thrill’ of Daytona Beach, the ‘Slingshot’.
Sunglow Pier
Join in on ‘Crabby Hour’ at Crabby Joes and enjoy the sunset from above the water as the sunlight dances across the ocean and says goodnight. Take a walk and discover the fish being caught in this area ranging from Spots, Whiting, Kings, Pompano, Flounder, Trout, Spanish Mackeral, Sheep’s Head, Blues, Shark, Sailcat, & Tarpon. Don’t forget to take a photo.
Ponce De Leon Inlet Lighthouse

Any great beach destination (at least in my book) couples with a lighthouse destination and Daytona Beach rules supreme offering up the tallest lighthouse at 175 Feet, the tallest in the state of Florida! Do you dare climb the 203 steps to the top of the 175-foot tower?
Step climbing will keep you with that healthy lifestyle (ha) and the bigger reward, an incredibly breathtaking view of the World’s most famous beach, Ponce Inlet and all of the surrounding inland waterways, a treasured view and totally an Instagrammable snap you want to capture. #GirlGetawayPerfection
Concerts
Ready to dance, sing and just have a great time? Head to the most historic venue that offers up concerts outdoors and on the beach! The BandShell Concerts offered here are in an amphitheater on the boardwalk. You get to overlook the Atlantic Ocean and take in great music, truly an iconic place to visit. The amphitheater was built in 1937 and can host up to 5000 people for concerts so move and groove with all of your new closest pals when you are your weekday getaway. (Friday night party life)
Daytona Beach Ale Trail

Let’s keep the party going. Who loves ales? Growing in popularity in so many different destinations are food trails and drink trails. I have followed pizza and donut trails in other states and now I have stumbled upon the ultimate for those who love their Ales, the Ale Trail in Daytona Beach. This will take you a few days to test your way through (and we do advise a DD or a brew tour). Get ready to indulge in exceptional craft beers and artisan spirits.
Perhaps a few stops day one, then more day two and day 3, so you can experience the craft beer offerings and a few smaller meals paired up. Don’t overlook the food trucks because they are wonderful for combining your best eats with your best-handcrafted ales! Follow the ‘Daytona Beach Ale Trail” and relax with a fun girl getaway experience!
