Daytona, definitely; even though we love all of the beaches in Florida. At Daytona there are many public restroom areas, even picnic areas (and a fountain playground area for children if you have young ones visiting), up and down the beach; parking is available on the beach. But what we love to do is to park in the lot for Ocean Deck restaurant, then do our beach walking or lounging, and finish up, or break up our beach time, with a snack, meal, or drinks, etc at the Ocean Deck - the perfect oceanside casual restaurant, with great chicken fingers. There is also a hotel with a beachside tiki bar for drinks and food at the hotel next door to the Boardwalk Inn, which is at the main entrance (where the sign saying 'The Most Famous Beach in the World' is) onto the beach from International Speedway Blvd. (There are other beachside bars and restaurants too; these are the two that we frequent).
