If one is considering going to relax and take a break at any of the United States ocean area's, one should consider a Daytona Beach vacation. Not only do they have the ocean and the beach that many folks on vacation desire, but they have so much more to offer.

Depending upon the time of the year, there are many different events that take place in Daytona Beach. From NASCAR racing, to spring break, to Bike Week, and many more. Lets start with the beginning of any given year and continue throughout the year and explore some of these events in detail to aid one in deciding their time frame visit or vacation to coincide with some of these events.

But, before we do, lets discuss some of the general details such as weather, traffic, temperatures, and costs associated with Daytona Beach.

The weather is just like most other southern beach area's. It will average ninety degrees in the summer and may see a low temperature of forty five at night in the winter. However, the winter months will have daytime highs of around sixty degrees or better. Rain is not much of a factor and, in more recent days, has been nil. The summer ocean water temperature is around eighty degrees and the winter water temperature is around seventy degrees. Therefore, when considering Daytona Beach, consider these ocean temperature differences when planning on swimming.

As far as traffic is concerned, getting around in the Daytona Beach area is quite easy, even with some of the events being staged. It is a spread out town and has numerous routes to get from point A to point B.

The cost of vacationing in Daytona Beach is comparable to any beach resort town. During the high tourist season and event times, prices will go up on the beach line, but, staying in a place off of the beach will save money. Also, plan far ahead in advance to take advantage of some of the deals that are offered. Although, there are special deals that go on at many times of the year, therefore, check the Daytona Beach website for more details.

Now for the events. During February is both Bikeweek and the Daytona five hundred race. Spring break begins directly after this in March. May begins the high tourist vacation season and ends in August or sometimes September, with the highlight event being around July fourth with another NASCAR race. October brings Biketoberfest and November through January seems to slow down a bit. The following year, it begins all over again. Keep in mind, that these are some of the main, highly publicized events that take place and does not reflect the many other things that one is constantly able to also do throughout the year.
