Daytona Beach Florida Sand, Surf and Driving!

Daytona Beach Florida is so famous; people come from all over the world to visit. The twenty-three mile stretch of sand is most lively, especially during Spring Break or Bike Week. People come to party, and there are die-hard fans of beach driving, surfers and regular tourists who want to swim in the wave-filled waters that cascade constantly to shore. There are a few things people can do to guarantee themselves the ultimate vacation trip, just by taking easy precautions to avoid accidents.

Driving is situated in marked areas along eighteen miles of designated beach. People are not allowed to speed, and generally drive between 5 to 10 miles per hour. The speed limit is ten miles per hour, and even though the speed limit is clearly marked throughout the stretch, some may go faster, and they are the ones that usually get their car tires stuck in sand, aside from being ticketed!

To keep safe around the drivers, make sure to set up your spot in the sand away from the cars. Some beach goers have actually been run over by passing motorists that failed to see them.

Lifeguard towers are situated all along the stretch of sand. Pay attention to the lifeguards, and always swim near the lifeguard station in your location. Read the signs posted in regard to current water situations. Be careful of jellyfish. If you get stung, wash the wound in saltwater, and call for medical help. With a few simple precautions, your day at the world's most famous beach will provide fun memories to last a lifetime.
