Daytona Beach Live Cam

Daytona Beach is a city located on the east coast of Florida, in the United States. It is known for its beautiful beaches, NASCAR racing, and spring break culture. The history of Daytona Beach is rich and varied, and it has played an important role in the development of the region and the state of Florida.

The area where Daytona Beach is located was originally inhabited by the Timucuan Indians, who lived in the area for thousands of years. In the early 16th century, Spanish explorers arrived in the area and established a settlement called San Mateo. The settlement was short-lived, and the area remained largely uninhabited for several centuries.

In the late 19th century, a group of investors led by Matthias Day purchased a large tract of land in the area and began to develop it as a resort town. They built hotels, a pier, and a boardwalk, and marketed the area to tourists as a healthful and relaxing destination. The town was officially incorporated as Daytona Beach in 1876.
