For the most part, these bikers come in peace and love and don't have any inclination for getting into trouble with the law.
Be assured that it's a perfectly safe environment at Bike Week. Enjoy yourself! Leave a Comment

I don't have the statistics to corroborate what I suspect must be a resulting increase in fatalities, but whenever I see riders without helmets, I think "donor-cycle" instead of "motorcycle".
Thankfully we see two responsible individuals here wearing their DOT approved helmets.
After all, this passenger's torso may be torn to shreds - but hey, her head will be protected.
Good thinking. Leave a Comment

 Yeah, sweetie . . . it's cold! by sarahjayn
Also, the traffic and crowds and prices (merchants / hotel owners can smell spoiled college kids a mile away, everything's more expensive this time of year) are TERRIBLE. If I were you, I'd go some other time (not Indy 500 time, that's just as bad). You'll have a better, safer, cheaper time. Leave a Comment

In recent times, Daytona Beach, has recieved alot of bad publicity, concerning shark bites. Actually, there are alot of sharks, however, they mostly stay away from our swimmers. Most of our bites occour close to the piers (Sun Glow/Main Street). I believe this may be attributed to the fact that people fishing of the pier, drop fish parts & bait into the water. This excites the sharks, and the rest is a visit to the hospital. So don't be afraid to swim in the ocean, just don't swim to close to the piers. Leave a Comment

Dont listen to that Dumba-- about the sharks. The chances of you gettin bit are low. Worry more about rip currents and lightning. SWIM NEAR A LIFEGUARD!!! ALWAYS!!! THIS PART OF THE OCEAN IS KNOWN FOR DANGEROUS CURRENTS!!! Every year we have at least a couple drownings.
Lightning- Central florida is the lightning strike capital of the world. If on the beach seek shelter in your car or hotel. Listen to the LIFEGUARDS!!! Leave a Comment

Daytona Beach was battered by 3 of the 4 hurricanes of 2004. As of January 2005, several of our major oceanfront hotels are still undergoing major repairs. If you are making reservations, ask specific questions about the condition of your hotel. Accommodations away from the beach are generally OK. The beach itself suffered major erosion and some sections are not as drive-able as before. Official tourism web sites for the Daytona area tend to paint an overly rosy picture, so be careful.

If you venture just a few blocks either way beyond the hotel, the area takes on an entirely different vibe. I wouldn't recommend walking alone, even during the day.

Motorized vehicles allowed on beach. Don't be fooled if you are in an area that doesn't allow cars - you still have beach patrol, ice cream vendors, etc. Nothing like the roar of a car rushing inches away from your head as you sleep on the beach to make you jump up and drag the blanket significant distance away.
Watch yourself and your stuff. There is the occasional panhandler asking for money for whatever reasons, real or made up.
Simple to handle - Just Say No.
Time shares - no one bothered me about that but I saw quite a number of storefronts selling these things.

There is a pizzeria at 615 Seabreeze Blvd called King's Pizza. Last time we ate there, the owner's wife did not know how to process my credit card transaction and I WAS CHARGED THREE TIMES!!! When I got back home and discovered their error, MasterCard immediately canceled two of the charges. Believe it or not, the owner wanted to dispute the error!!!
I have to say that pizza was pretty good, though. Just don't use your credit card! Leave a Comment
