Ponce Inlet
‘The nation’s best beach’ is located just south of Daytona Beach and is home to the best waves and best surfing on the East Coast. This area on the tip of the peninsula was stumbled upon by Juan Ponce De Leon in 1513 and has since served as an important historical, cultural, and entertainment hub for Florida. The Inlet houses the tallest lighthouse in Florida, a marine science center, boardwalks, observation towers, and several nature trails. Water sports are highly practiced on this beach, with everything from extreme surfing lessons, parasailing 600-1200 feet above the water, or stand-up paddling the Atlantic are all ready and waiting for your group to explore. There are also several eco-tours and boating outings available, as well as the Inlet Harbor Restaurant, Marina, and Gift Shop. The fresh seafood and daily community events at the Inlet Marina add to the experience as your group starts their day off right at Ponce Inlet.

Daytona Lagoon Water Park
Get ready for an exciting day full of nothing but sun, sand, and fun as you start your second day of Daytona adventures at Daytona Lagoon Water Park. Daytona Beach’s premier family entertainment center offers more fun activities than anywhere else in Daytona. Over a million gallons of water await you in the park offering tons of freshwater fun activities such as Blackbeard’s Revenge, a 62-foot slide, Adventure Mountain, the fastest racer slides at the park, Pelican’s Drift lazy river, or the comfortably spacey yet completely realistic wave pool. If the weather isn’t up to par for any of those adventures, your group can find their inner kids at the extremely large on-site arcade, two 9-hole mini-golf courses snaking through the waterpark, fast-paced grand Prix go-kart course, or 13,000-foot laser tag facility. When you’re done working up an appetite (which you undoubtedly will with so much to do) your group can stop at Paradise Grill or Wave Grill for some fresh lunch or head over to the Crusoe’s Tiki Bar to cool off with some refreshing frozen (virgin) cocktails.
