Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory — Daytona's Sweetest Stop Since 1925
On Beach Street in downtown Daytona, chocolate has been made the slow way since the 1940s. Angell & Phelps was founded in 1925 on Mackinac Island, Michigan, by Riddell Angell and Cora Phelps, and moved to Daytona during the war years; owner Chuck Smith has made candy here since 1983. The signatures are the Honeybees — caramel-pecan patties, deliberately not called turtles — molded chocolate seashells and gators, chocolate-covered potato chips and bacon, and cordial cherries that rest five days before sale.

Beach Access & Parking Guide — Park Volusia, Ramps & The Park Lots

Beach Street & The Riverfront Shops — Historic Downtown Daytona
Beach Street is Daytona's original main street — the historic downtown strip along the Halifax River, where the Riverfront Shops' storefronts face the water across a landscaped linear park, the Riverfront Esplanade. If the boardwalk is the beach's front porch, Beach Street is the town's parlor: dining, small shops, the chocolate factory, the historical museum, and the river always in frame.

Biketoberfest — Daytona's October Motorcycle Rally
Biketoberfest is Bike Week's younger, calmer sibling: a four-day October motorcycle rally created in 1992 to stretch Daytona's riding season beyond March. The narrated guide that leads this page puts the crowd at roughly 100,000 to 125,000 riders against Bike Week's half-million — and the argument that follows through these films is that the smaller number is the point.

Bulow Creek State Park & The Fairchild Oak
Bulow Creek State Park protects some 5,600 acres of old-growth hammock along the creek — 'real Florida,' as one film here bills it — minutes from Ormond Beach and a world away in feel. Most visitors come for one tree. They should; but the trail system rewards staying.

Bulow Plantation Ruins — East Florida's Largest Sugar Mill
In 1821 Charles Bulow bought more than 4,600 acres on Bulow Creek and built Bulowville — the largest sugar plantation in East Florida. Some 200 enslaved people in 46 cabins cleared half of it for sugar, indigo, cotton and rice. Fifteen years later, in January 1836, Seminole forces burned it at the onset of the Second Seminole War — a glow reportedly visible from St. Augustine. The coquina walls that stand in this state park are what the fire left.

The Bandshell is Daytona's oceanfront living room: a coquina-rock amphitheater built in 1937 at the top of the boardwalk, facing the stage one way and the Atlantic the other. For decades its summer rhythm has been tribute-band concerts under the stars with fireworks over the water after Saturday shows — and remarkably, almost forty years of that history exists on film.

Daytona International Speedway is the reason this beach town is famous in February — a 2.5-mile tri-oval with 31-degree banking, seating for roughly 101,500, and a $400-million renovation that turned it into what the tour films call the world's first motorsports stadium.

Discover Daytona Beach Florida
Daytona Beach built its fame on sand: 23 miles of hard-packed coastline where pioneers raced automobiles from Ormond Beach to Ponce Inlet long before paved roads existed.
