<\/a><\/p>\n1) Daytona Beach<\/a>–<\/span><\/p>\n We’ll start off with the most famous, Daytona Beach.\u00a0 These days Daytona Beach is most known for it’s Nascar Racing culture, but there is plenty to do off the track as well.\u00a0 Daytona Beach is home to gorgeous beaches, world class seafood, and loads of beach side fun.\u00a0 Daytona Beach also boasts two of the last all wood piers in the state and a boardwalk complete with carnival rides and games of skill.\u00a0 It really is the quintessential American Beach.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n 2) Deland-<\/p>\n Deland really surprised me.\u00a0 Admittedly, I had only heard of Deland in car commercials imploring me to “save a grand in Deland.”\u00a0 Deland is actually the most adorable town.\u00a0 The bulk of Deland is located on a “main street” with local shops and restaurants.\u00a0 In fact, one thing that makes Deland unique is that all of the restaurants and stores are locally owned, no chains!\u00a0 It makes for a one of a kind shopping and dining experience and pumps money into the local economy.\u00a0 One of my favorite spots in Deland is a tropical wine and tea room located inside an antique shop.\u00a0 It’s like my brain started a business!\u00a0 Deland also creates many parks and green spaces like this one that’s modeled after New York City.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n 3) New Smyrna Beach-<\/p>\n New Smyrna Beach is one of the top 100 art towns in the U.S.A.\u00a0 It’s also the shark bite capital of the world, making it the best worst.\u00a0 That makes it pretty hard to figure out your feelings on New Smyrna Beach, but they should be mostly good.\u00a0 Even if you are afraid to go in the water, there is plenty to do.\u00a0 Laying by the water is enough, the beach is great.\u00a0 It is also home to The Hub On Canal<\/a>, an arts mecca that hosts +30 artists in a studio\/gallery\/retail setting.\u00a0 Besides that the New Smyrna Beach Brewery is great, and well themed, which I love.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n 4) Flagler Avenue<\/span><\/p>\n Technically part of New Smyrna Beach but across the river from downtown, Flagler Ave. is the epitome of cute beach towns.\u00a0 It has an adorable main street leading all the way down to the beach featuring all sorts of wacky shops full of flamingos, wine, and mermaids. There are lots of great shops to browse on Flagler Avenue, but my personal favorite is Island Collection.\u00a0 Island Collection is a local shop featuring home decor and furnishings designed by the owner and handmade in Bali.\u00a0 They also offer a lucky few patrons the opportunity to travel with them to Bali on buying trips every year.<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n ~<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
