Daytona Beach Nightlife

In addition to the lure of the World's Most Famous Beach, there are an assortment of clubs and restaurants offering diversions after the sun goes down. It's a good idea to expand the list of nighttime attractions to neighboring towns such as New Smyrna Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange and Ponce Inlet. Even in those spots, there is never any shortage of race fans.

From the Orlando Sentinel, here's an assortment of nightlife options in Daytona Beach:
