Daytona Beach is best known for its wide sandy shoreline and the world-famous Daytona International Speedway, but there’s much more to discover beyond the beach. From family-friendly attractions and outdoor adventures to historic landmarks, museums, shopping, and cultural stops, the area offers something for every kind of traveler.

Whether you’re planning a day away from the sand, looking for activities with the kids, or exploring the local side of Daytona Beach, Nautilus Inn puts you close to many of the area’s favorite attractions while keeping you anchored on the quieter, family-friendly south end of the beach.
