As Ridgewood Avenue,
US-1
steams through mainland Daytona Beach, passing the Greyhound station at no. 138 S. Trolleys run the length of the beach from January to August only ($1). The
visitor center
is at 126 E Orange Ave (Mon-Fri 9am-5pm; tel 1-800/854-1234,
).
Any of these Atlantic Avenue motels makes a good beach base: the Driftwood Beach Motel at no. 657 S (tel 1-800/490-8935; up to $35/$75-100); the Streamline Hotel at no. 140 S (tel 386/258-6937; up to $35); Sunglow Resort at no. 3647 S (tel 877-332-4569, ; $75-100); or the welcoming Tropical Manor Motel at no. 2237 S (tel 1-800/253-4920, ; $35-50/$75-100).
Good places to
eat
include
Julian's
, 88 S Atlantic Ave (tel 386/677-6767), a dimly lit, mock-Tahitian lounge with great food, and
Lighthouse Landing
(tel 386/761-9271), beside the
Ponce Inlet Lighthouse
, for fresh fish. Or try the more elegant
Inlet Harbor
, 133 Inlet Road, Ponce Inlet (tel 386/767-5590); eat right on the marina while local bands play their hearts out. The
St Regis Restaurant and Patio Bar
, 509 Seabreeze Blvd (tel 386/252-8743), is a local culinary favorite, serving New American fare, the highlight of which is the chicken piccata. For beachside action, the bars in and around the
Adams Mark Daytona Beach Resort
, 100 N Atlantic Ave, are good bets. Other useful information
