About Daytona Beach Shores Beach
Daytona Beach Shores is a small, condo-lined city just south of Daytona Beach, sharing the same wide, hard-packed Volusia County sand. It's quieter than its famous neighbor, with the Sunglow Fishing Pier and Frank Rendon Park as local landmarks, and county Beach Safety lifeguards on the towers. Water is warm most of the year and cooler in winter. Rip currents are Florida’s deadliest beach hazard, so check the safety flag and rip-current risk above, follow posted flags, and swim near a lifeguard.
