As the city’s name implies, South Daytona lies immediate south of Daytona Beach, forming an extension of the legendary Florida beach town. The inland portion of the city is almost entirely filled by residential neighborhoods, with US 1 near the riverfront serving as the busiest commercial corridor in town. This area features a number of shopping centers, restaurants, and other attractions catering to locals as well as tourists, with everything from international grocers to the SFC Jericho Skatepark clustered together along the highway.
With the ocean practically right next door, beach culture is huge in this area, and locals love to take advantage of classic Florida pastimes like surfing, boating, fishing, and soaking up sun on the water’s edge.
