DAYTONA BEACH – Volusia County is known for offering locals and visitors a large and diverse restaurant scene with spots along its coastal communities for those looking to spend time by the ocean.

It’s no wonder that places with ocean or riverfront dining and drinking are plenty, perhaps making it harder to choose one place to spend an afternoon or evening.
