Magnificent animals
From May 1 through October 31, Daytona Beach hosts an unusual marine visitor - the sea turtle. Daytona Beach is home to five species of sea turtles - loggerhead, green, leatherback, Kemp’s ridley and hawksbill. The largest of these is the leatherback, which can grow up to 6-9 feet long and weigh over 1,000 pounds when fully grown. The other species are mostly between 2-4 feet long.
These magnificent animals emerge from the surf at night to lay their eggs in nests dug into the dry sand, then return to the sea. Florida's government has taken several steps to protect these gentle creatures and the fragile dune area. Beach driving and parking is prohibited west of an established dune conservation zone and beachfront lighting at night is limited. The tiny hatchlings can be confused by bright lights and stray west onto busy Highway A1A.
Please do the following when on the beach during sea turtle season:
- Don't disturb a turtle that is crawling to or from the ocean or laying eggs. Watch from a distance of at least 30 feet.
- Avoid shining lights on the beach at night as this may frighten away nesting females and, interfere with the hatchlings ability to find the sea.
- Avoid walking or cycling in nesting areas
- Report any injured or dead sea turtles to any Volusia County Beach Services employee.
- Do not disturb markers or protective screening over turtle nests. These nests are being studied and protected.
- Avoid walking on the beach dunes.
- Don't disturb nesting sea birds.
- Don't litter. Cigarette butts, fishing line and other trash can harm the animals and birds along the beach.

Driving on the beach comes with a small fee of $20 per vehicle, per day which allows for an entire day of beach driving and parking. In an effort to conserve our natural resources, beach access is limited to specific sections of the beach and is dependent on tide conditions.
Daytona Beach is dubbed the “World’s Most Famous Beach” for a variety of reasons, but mainly for its 23 miles of wide, hard-packed white-sand beaches that welcomed the first automobile and motorcycle races in 1902. Today, while professional drivers stick to the track at the ‘World Center of Racing’, Daytona International Speedway, visitors still enjoy driving very slowly (10 mph) along Daytona Beach in designated areas, tide permitting.
