Mention Daytona Beach and most people think of brilliantly painted stock cars roaring past at over 200 miles per hour, or of sun-worshipping beach-goers covering the beaches during spring break. But the Daytona Beach area has a colorful history that reaches back many years before the town became one of the world's key auto racing centers as well as one of the most famous and beautiful beach communities.
