Romantic Motorsports Mecca

One of the world’s most famous beaches, Daytona has an unrivaled ocean park atmosphere.

Romantics need only come equipped with the determination to have a good time. Everything else can be rented on the beach: water floats, boogie boards, lounge chairs, even bikes and motorbikes. And yes, you can drive on the sand — as long as you do it in designated areas and obey the 10 mph speed limit.

Mecca for motorsports fans, Daytona is home to Speed Park drag racing, the Klassix car collection, Richard Petty’s Driving Experience, and Daytona USA, located just outside the famous International Speedway…all guaranteed to get your motors running.

If space travel excites you even more, launch your trip at the Kennedy Space Center visitor complex. A guided tour, “Cape Canaveral: Then and Now,” highlights the past, present, and future of cosmic journeys.

While lodging choices are plentiful in the area, Disney’s Vero Beach Resort (check prices now, midway between Cape Canaveral and the Palm Beaches, stands out as a romantic seaside retreat. It combines the classic charm of Old Florida with Disney quality.
