Daytona Beach is one of the most iconic vacation spots in the Southeast. It has long been a hub for spring break travelers, beachgoers, and race fans. Daytona Beach is located between Jacksonville and Orlando along the east coast of Florida. The beaches are beautiful, and in a unique twist, some areas even let you drive your car along the beach.
Daytona Beach is full of hotels, but very few of them are pet-friendly, and even fewer allow cats. That can be a hassle if you like to travel with your feline friend.
