Daytona Beach Shores, Florida
The City of Daytona Beach Shores, incorporated
in 1967, is a 5.5-mile strip of high-rise condominiums, hotels,
motels, town homes, and
single-family residences located between the
Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River. The City’s
population has more than tripled in the last two
decades, as greater numbers of people desire to
live along the beach.
With tourism as the chief industry, the City’s daily
population in tourist season and during special
events such as Bike Week and Speed Weeks
often climbs to over 30,000. The majority of
the City’s residents live in condominiums, and
construction of new buildings remains strong. The
City operates a Public Safety Department whose
officers are triple-trained as police, firefighters
and EMTs. Residents enjoy a high quality of life,
with amenities like a public tennis facility and
ocean side parks, while the City’s tax rate remains
among the lowest in the county.
The City of Daytona Beach Shores is situated near
the confluence of two major interstate highways
that provide quick, easy access to the third largest
consumer region in the United States with a
population of over 17 million.
International airports in Daytona Beach and
Orlando, railroad and nearby port facilities
enhance the area’s efforts to provide a cost effective
and logistically important location to do
business, while providing an exceptional quality of
life.
