Coast on over.
What’s a trip to Florida without the beach? Seminole County puts you at an easy drive to the beautiful Atlantic and exciting coastal destinations. Just minutes north up Interstate 4 is Daytona Beach, a favorite for family fun and nightlife. You can even drive right on the beach. Racing fanatics can get their fix at Daytona International Speedway® and the adjacent Daytona USA ®, an interactive motor sports attraction. You can also encounter the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, the second tallest in the U.S. The surf’s nearly always up at Cocoa Beach. Part of the Space Coast, the area offers over 72 miles of shoreline, the world-famous Ron Jon Surf Shop, the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex, and the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame.
