Mayan Inn

General area vibe

by travel_gurl

I'm using this area to just say that although I had a nice time, I was there with colleagues mainly on business. The area isn't really all that kid-friendly and is heavily into the "biker" scene. There are many biker bars (some quite nice, one with a great blues band!) but there is only a very small boardwalk area with limited family activities. I was able to watch the Space Shuttle launch from the beach! It was absolutely fantastic!

Tarragona Arch

by Ewingjr98

The Tarragona Tower and its twin arches were constructed in 1925 to mark the entrance to a new neighborhood called Daytona Highlands (originally named Coquina Highlands). In the great depression, the plans for this large community were put on hold, and in the 1940s one of the arches was destroyed so International Speedway Boulevard could be widened. In the 1980s, this same road was widened again, and the arches was moved not far to its present location.

The tower and arch were constructed in Spanish Colonial Revival and Mission Revival Style architecture. The building material is local coquina stone, a stone made of ancient coral reef or seashells; this is the same material used to build Castillo de San Marcos in Saint Augustine.

On May 6, 2005, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
