Daytona Beach

[CindaBee]

Going to Daytona Beach for a week mid-August. Staying on the beach with grown keet and keet-in-law and 2 grandkeets. Any recommendations for good seafood in that area. Will have a car, so can travel.

Thanks,

Don't know about the seafood but Hog Heaven on Atlantic Ave. has good
barbecue and is kid friendly.

Thanks. Will put that on our dining out itinerary. The 6 year old is a MAJOR rib fan.

My buddy and I stopped in here for a few beers and appetizers a few years back.
Great tropical atmosphere!

Here's a very good restaurant Park's Seafood, it's along the river. They have a great selection of reasonably priced Early Bird meals with very good portion. They do have other items besides seafood. We always eat here when in Daytona: http://www.parkseafood.com/

Another very good restaurant is down on the Ponce Inlet down by the Lighthouse called Down the Hatch: http://www.down-the-hatch-seafood.com/

Here is the link for the lighthouse: http://ponceinlet.org/

Another fun thing to do with the family is to go to DeLeon Springs Park. There is a restaurant in the park called the Old Spanish Sugar Mill. Their specialty is make your own pancakes. There is a griddle built into the table. You can get different items to put in your pancakes, chocolate chips, bananas, fresh peanut butter, pecans. The park is beautiful and they have a spring fed pool for wading and swimming. Allow plenty of time as the restaurant can quite often have a waiting list. It is worth it. It's a good half hour or so drive from Daytona.

A great place for a Burger and boiled shrimp, along with many other items is the Brickyard

Here's one more for you with seafood and a variety of other items, along with outdoor seating overlooking the marina on the river: http://www.caribbeanjacks.com/


If anybody is into Stock Car Racing the Daytona 500 experience is pretty cool.
