This the restaurant at the Seven Seas Marina. It is open only until 2 p.m. Family place, good food, friendly. Breakfast is served until 11:30 on weekdays

Favorite Dish: In 2000 when we came in, it was nearly 2 pm. I had a brocolli and cheese omlet. Bob had a BLT.

We came back in Jan 2005. Specials included meatloaf and mashed potatoes. I had the turkey salad sandwich special for $3.65 (photo 5) and Bob had a 1/4 lb hamburger (pictured - photo 2) for $2.95 which was huge. We drank root beer ($1.15 with free refills), and the total bill before tip was $8.48.

Other specials which are listed on the pictured board were egg salad sandwich $2.99, a reuben, grilled cheese with a cup of soup $3.69, meat loaf dinner with mashed potatoes or meat loaf sandwich. Soups were chili, vegetable beef barley or tomato mushroom.

My husband said a senior citizen could ride the bus all day Sunday for 10 cents.

I'm not sure whether this still applies. The VOTRAN (Volusia County Transportation) website says on December 2004:

"To celebrate the anniversary of extended service, Votran will offer 10 cent fares for all evening route riders January 10 - 15. This is coupled with the annual 10 cent Trolley Week implemented by Votran a decade ago. Trolleys were introduced in 1981 and have become a popular Votran service. The trolley program, which serves Atlantic Avenue, is a seasonal program that operates until Labor Day."

If you want to buy something that has your favorite driver on it don't buy it at the track! I worked at the giftshop at Daytona USA and trust me, all the prices are really expensive. Even the food is expensive, so don't buy the food there, instead eat at the many restuarants around the track, you will save alot of money!

Unique Suggestions: If you have to buy gifts at the track check out the discount store that is outside of Daytona USA. You can see the building from where the tram tour lines are at. It is a gray building with Daytona written really big on it!

If you have to eat at the track, well then what can you do. There is only one food selling place inside, and it is expensive. Try and have a little snack there, and save your big meal for somewhere outside the track!

Fun Alternatives: Instead of buying gifts at the trak go check out the Race store in Volusia Mall right across the street. Even go to to the Flea Market, they have the same things but cheaper!

There are many other restuarants around the track, you will save alot of money if you eat at one of them instead of eating at the track!

This marina doesn't have any connection to the Seven Seas Sailing association. The cross current in this marina is one of the worst on the ICW- greater than 1 knot, and the marina is relatively unprotected from wakes. The reason for the cross current is from the Venturi effect caused by the narrowing of the river where the bridge goes across.

When we stayed there it was 50 cents/ft for the first day. The marina owner was relatively hostile to internet access by transients.

Equipment: Fixed piers, electricity, washer/dryer, no cable, no pump out. Primarily a working yard for smaller boats - has no haulout capability for larger boats. They have an extensive marine store.
