Volusia County provided the land and paid most of the $850,000 in expansion project costs. The project was funded in part with grants from the Volusia ECHO program and the Daytona Beach Racing and Recreational Facilities District. The park and beach area are ADA accessible. There are sheltered picnic areas, grills, children's playground with padded ground, disability-accessible restrooms, water fountain, outdoor showers, 134 off-beach parking spaces, handicapped parking and a wooden observation deck. The Shores Hotel and the covered walkway across Atlantic Avenue is just north of the park and a nice place for food and drinks as well.

Area is now infested with "sand fleas" AKA crabs, not the kind you eat. If local police would patrol this park like they used to & county would spray for fleas then it could return to its former glory. Until then, you will see homeless people crawling out from under the access & picnic tables then urinating in the bushes before they cross the road to 7-11 each morning. BEWARE: Do not let your children dig in the sand, they will be eaten by the sand fleas.

Shortly after the road goes from 4 lanes to 2, there is public parking with clean bathrooms and showers that comes up on the right side. You have to cross the road to enter the beach but its not a long walk (you will want shoes). I like that this beach has a good amount of wet/medium and dry sand. Perfect areas for setting up your umbrella and for tanning in the sun. It was super hot but that made it very easy to get into the beautiful blue water. Not a driving beach which is a plus for us with our toddler running around. I would actually love to find a VRBO or AirBNB around here some time so we can just walk to the inlet beach. Other other favorite spot is Ormond due to the playground, splash pad and clean bathrooms, but its much more crowded... so not very friendly to social distancing.

Interesting history here. I can't go somewhere without checking out some of the sites. There's not…read morea ton of things to do in Daytona but when I saw 'Lighthouse Park', I knew we had to go. One of the workers in the gift shop gave us an intro when we bought our tickets. You should definitely start across the street at the hotel/museum. That hotel/house has history all its own aside from the lighthouse. The family that lived there and ran it. I loved the house and it seems to have stayed in great condition after hundreds of years. In the hotel/house, you start with a short movie in the side room and then you can tour the house at your leisure. The house has multiple items displayed from over the years. There are also boards with a bit of history as you make your way through. Outside of the hotel/house is a relaxing area by the water. You could relax there or it'd be a perfect place for a wedding or special occasion. Once finished there, you can make your way back across the street to the lighthouse. On the lighthouse side, there are other buildings where people that took care of the place stayed. There's also a small storybook trail. It's not long at all but it has these storyboards around it talking about this cat named Nelly. That's all fun and stuff... but at the end of the trail, you see a little cat graveyard with cats that have been on the property over the years. When we walked up and I noticed Nelly was already buried! THE HORRRRRRRRRRORRRRRRR! On to the lighthouse; You can climb up to the top of the lighthouse. I think there is a sign that mentions 222 steps or something. It gets very steep near the top. Great exercise and it made me forget all about the cat graveyard. It's a cool place. I was intrigued by the Cincinnati Reds connection too. Other notables: Across the street is a restaurant and ice cream place. I don't think those two spots are related to the lighthouse itself but it's nice that they're there. We tried out both and they weren't bad at all. We didn't venture further down the road but we were told more restaurants/locations are further down. If you like history or inlets or just lighthouses, check out this place if you're in the area.

The beach itself was pretty small, and it was crowded. The water wasn't too rough. There were a lot of kids and families, so clearly a good place for the kids to swim. My favorite part were all of the dogs. There were so many puppers on the beach! Overall, I'll give it a 3. It was fine, but I wouldn't go out of my way to go here for a beach day.

It's lovely beach if you happen to enjoy long, flat areas of wide sandy ocean front. . The waves are usually pretty decent and on windy days can get pretty feisty but it is usually pretty mellow and a good place for kids. In fact the whole park impressed me as appealing to kids. Not crazy, drunken and insane kids like Daytona gets at certain times of the year but younger kids that want to play on the beach and in the ocean. Some nice picnic benches, relatively clean bathrooms, drinking fountains and some things for the young ones to play on makes Sun Splash park a nice place for a family outing.
