5 Star Resort: For the entire family, this resort is a watery paradise, whether you opt to play in the pools - there are three outdoor heated pools - or run into the waves. There's a waterslide and a “lazy river' where kids (and adults) can float lazily along on tubes. One pool includes an interactive, aquatic island playground. Ocean Walk's beach is car-free and kid-friendly.

Since the resort is right on the sand, it's easy to make quick runs to your room throughout the day, for snacks or breaks from the sun. Indoor and outdoor putting greens, a fitness center, game room and programs for both kids and adults (including the pleasant - sounding 'ladies pampering days”) round this resort out.

Activities!: Just south of the resort is the historic coquina bandshell, which often hosts free concerts. If you're gutsy, strap yourself into one of the scream-inducing thrill rides at the DAYTONA BEACH PIER.

Situated next to the famous Daytona Beach band shell, you can enjoy frequent concerts presented by well-known artists, numerous special events, and athletic competitions that continue to make Daytona a popular destination.

A short walk up the boardwalk to the pier allows for fishing, a gondola ride or some great food. Walk across the street to Daytona Lagoon, a water park that's fun for the entire family. It includes a go-cart race course and a state of the art video arcade.
