Living on the Florida coast means that we enjoy mild temperatures, tons of amazing activities, and a pretty fabulous variety of festivals regularly, but one of my favorite places to enjoy all of these aspects of Florida is Daytona Beach. While this lovely little town is on the other side of the state from my amazing home, I'm a pretty big fan of everything it has to offer. From amazing beaches to a ton of fun family activities, I'm pretty much a fool for Daytona Beach. It's the perfect Fall Beach Escape!
