Daytona Beach is home to the Daytona 500 (the Great American Race), which is the season-opening event of a series of motor races watched by over 200,000 fans. The race is hosted at the Daytona International Speedway, which is a massive 480 acre complex hosting some of the world’s biggest races.

The Ponce de Leon inlet’s lighthouse is a national historic monument, being the tallest lighthouse in the state and the second tallest in America. There are guided tours as well as a tour of the museum on the ground floor.
