One of the most recognizable structures to Daytona natives in South Florida is the Coquina Clock Tower. The Clock Tower was constructed alongside the Daytona Bandshell in a collaborative project that began in 1936. It’s made of Coquina rock, a common building material in Florida. At the top of the looming tower are 4 clock dials that read “D-A-Y-T-O-N-A-B-E-A-C-H” instead of the standard 1-12 hours. The ornate base of the tower creates a canopy over a beautifully intricate fountain that flows beneath. Standing at an overwhelming 30 feet tall, the Coquina Clock Tower is included in the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The craftsmanship and awe-inducing details of the tower give it a magnetic quality that stops every passerby for at least a lingering glance. The tower is a must-see site for tourists. The tower is located right next to the Bandshell and the Oceanfront Park Complex at 250 N Atlantic Ave in Daytona Beach, Florida.
