Daytona Beach Shores is located on a barrier island on the Atlantic Ocean. Just 5.5 miles long and a few hundred yards wide, the City features a pristine beach where famed race car drivers once vied to set world speed records.

The city has about 4300 residents, but can host 20,000 - 30,000 people during special events like Race Weeks and Bike Week.

Daytona Beach Shores is home to various attractions, including:

• The Court of Flags - a rotating display of 12 flags representing the national origins of Shores residents and highlighting the cultural diversity that unifies this country.

• Legends Walk of Fame - featuring bricks dedicated to famous car racing participants.

• Otto Schultze Memorial - a tribute to the late City Councilman that includes the seven flags used in automobile racing.

• A display of racing memorabilia in the Community Center.

The Shores Resort and Spa, located in the Shores, hosts the Auto Racing Hall of Fame with plaques honoring the great drivers and racing figures from the past.

Along with an existing Community Center, the City added a Senior Center in 1999, and the Oceans Racquet & Recreation Club in 2001.
