Our condo is less than two miles north of ISB and well within walking distance of the shops on the boardwalk. Except a really high tide, the beach is wide with well marked drive lanes.

We've been coming to Daytona Beach every February for the past 13 years and this is always one place we look forward to going to. I'm so sad that dog racing will be over with by the time we come next year. The dogs look so healthy and they are just doing what greyhounds love to do, which is run. Anyway we went 3 times while we were there this year. They have really great food there too & all the employees are friendly & helpful. We recommend the burger & fries, along with a beer of course.

No hymnals or prayer books. Every other pew is roped off and numbered on one end or the other for seating. Very large church. 2 huge screens hung from ceiling with prayers and hymns displayed for all to join in. Felt very safe. I would go again.
