Daytona Beach Florida Trip
We are heading to the Daytona area the last week of March into the first week of April. Looking for some good rides down that way, some mom and pop stops and some great places to kick back drink a few and just chill. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks in advance....

well you have to ride A1A from Daytona to St. Augustine that is a nice ride, and for a local ride do the loop which is off SR40 Granada on the west side of the river. There are lots of mom and pop places to eat in Daytona/ Ormond so just putt around and enjoy. Dont forget to check out the beach and go down to Ponce Inlet and see the light house and the little bar at the bottom of it across the street. Have Fun.

40 west to 11 south to Deland in nice as well. Hang a right at Reynolds off 11 to get to 17 then into Deland. Don't forget to stop at Trader Jacks on 17 leading into Deland. You can take 44 back to New Smyrna and Pub 44 then up US 1 back to Daytona. There is also a great ride out on 415 south west to east on Maytown road over to US1 in Oak Hill. I know it's confusing but check it out on a the map. The loop is nice as well - The ride up to St Auggie is mostly along the ocean - not much of that any more in FL.
and to warm ya up a bit or to get ya thinking about the beach.....

Some places I like to stop and/or eat (I'm pasting these from another mail):
As HarleyCop mentioned, Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. It is more of the beautiful "old Florida." Go S. on Atlantic Ave to get there. Their website appears to be down, but here is the clip from Frommer's http://www.frommers.com/destinations...ch/A24939.html
Once in the area, I would recommend...Deck down under - hidden restaurant off the path in the middle of the water (under the bridge that crosses the intercoastal)- great raw oysters, etc, if you are into that. They also have cooked seafood...lol.http://www.yelp.com/biz/our-deck-down-under-port-orange.
you might want to try JT's Seafood Shack between At. A and Daytona. It' really a locals place, on A1A in Palm Coast, about 15 miles south of St. A (on your right, or on your left coming up from Daytona). They have awesome ribs and fried fish and a wonderful seafood boil (shrimp, clams, potatoes, corn on the cob and crab in a spicy boil pot). In Another 10-15 minutes south of Palm Coast in Ormond Beach (near the loop) is Manny's on A1A. It's a local pizza, burger, sandwich joint. Sometimes it is too hot to eat outside, but on a cooler morning, I love to sit outside (it's across from the beach) and eat the excellent breakfast sandwiches (even for lunch) on texas toast and take in the salt air, surf, bikes going by, etc. The Flagler pier is a good landmark, Manny's is less than 5 minutes south of there.

Yea - I like to ride to eat as well. JT's up in the Hammock has the best smoked fish dip and if you like peel and eat shrip hit up High Ties at Snack Jacks just south of the Flagler pier.

"Kick back drink a few and just chill" is the definition of Key West--OK. There is a little state park west of Daytona called Juniper Springs that has the best swimming hole anywhere and it is a good rest from the rest of Florida. Everglades City is also a good place to chill. Don't try to chill on I-95 or they will send you to the chill. Miami is the most terrifying place I have ever rode a motorcycle. I find that the hardest thing in Florida is trying to figure out which direction I am going. Happy Trails

If you are heading up from South Florida, on US1 in Sebastian is Captain Hiram's. Sit on the back deck/beach area. You feel like you're in the Bahamas! Great place that we often bike to from the Orlando area and the food and drinks are awesome too. Have fun!

You could also watch the sunrise around Ormond Beach and sunset around Cedar Key ride just to get some road time and see Don Garlits drag raceing museum along the way. Check out the south end of the beach road at New Symrna,, JB's seafood. Some old time florida motels if avalible just north of 44 in the same area on the beach.
