Help Preserve Florida's Beaches
Beach cleanups keep trash off our beaches – trash that is not only unsightly, but poses a danger to animal life. Beach cleanup days happen regularly all over Florida, and anyone can participate.

There Is a Season
You don't have to ride a "hawg" to appreciate the action and machines that stream through the area for four days annually during Biketoberfest, this year Oct. 16-19. As the festival planners like to say, "there's a little biker in all of us," so let out your inner biker as you party to live music all around town.

Coastal Guardians
Visitors come for the beach, for the pier, for charter boats, a casino cruise, for the waterfront restaurants and to walk the town's canopied lanes, escapist as ever.

Parrot Heads
This is a place of bikini tops and Bloody Marys for breakfast. Where the talk is about fishing, the weather and what port of call is next.

Cabana For Two
We feed each other the savory, pepper-crusted petite veal rack and sensual butter-poached Florida lobster tail, dipping each in a menagerie of sauces.

The New Daytona Beach
Aaron, Jean-Michael and I finished our last visit to this place we call kid-heaven with a late lunch in Ocean Walk Shoppes, colorful and representing what's freshest in Daytona Beach's family-fetching image.

Daytona Beach in the Spring
Tour guide Bunny led us into the inner recesses where confections come to life. She pointed to old copper kettles, a marble table on which caramel and peanut brittle are spread and a large white scale straight out of Mayberry.

Space Coast: A Bird and Nature Watcher's Paradise
Canaveral is also one of only two spots in Florida where the reddish egret is known to breed. Another rare species, the endangered wood stork, comes to feed when the fry, or tiny minnows, first hatch.

We even ventured off the river, past oyster beds, into narrow waterways surrounded by mangroves.

The look of triumph and thrill on his face as he stood his first ride all the way to the beach? You guessed it: priceless.

Daytona Beach/New Smyrna Beach Area
The best surfing is at quiet Ponce Inlet, where a salty village of casual restaurants and visitor attractions has gathered.

Fish Shacks and Other Laid-Back Fun
The best seating is outdoors around picnic tables on the deck overlooking the salt marshes of the Intracoastal Waterway, just before it empties into Ponce Inlet.

Florida's Best Surf Spots
Florida's Gulf coast doesn't offer the surf of the state's Atlantic coast, but all winter, you'll find surfers lined up at the best breaks from St. Petersburg to Venice Inlet and all across the northwest.

Beachin' Good Times in Daytona Beach
You can make motor sports history yourself and cruise down the sandy shore (slowly - the speed limit is only 10 mph); this is one of the few places left in Florida where you can still drive on the beach.
