Boardwalk Main St. Pier — Attraction in Daytona Beach

First off, I would not call this walkway a boardwalk. It's really a walkway made with pavers, not a wooden boardwalk. The Main Street Pier is more of a boardwalk being constructed with wood. But with that said, the walkway is very nice. We visited on a weekday in January, 2024. It was fairly quiet and somewhat cool. With temperatures in the 70's to 80 degrees, it was nice. Although it got warm walking along the walkway with the early afternoon sun baking on us. The walkway is fairly wide which allows for folks to stroll at their own pace. There were multiple beach access points that were closed because of beach erosion. We didn't walk all that far since there was construction with cranes lifting items up onto building rooftops. With the trucks and such on the walkway, and little to see between the walkway pier end and there, we turned around. So we never got to see what might have been ahead from that point.

But again, I'm not sure if it would be this nice when the...

The boardwalk itself is nice. It’s made of a fancy brick. Could use benches all along instead of just on one side of the pier. Only a few businesses then vacant lots. Quite sad actually.

Drove on the beach. An experience to say we did it but truly...

Me and my girlfriend had a good time here. Walked out to Joe’s Crab Shack which was cool since it’s located in the water. Played some games at the arcade - most of them worked and they were reasonable priced (about $1/game). There’s a t-shirt store on every corner, not sure how any of them get business that way! Otherwise, this place is solid and we’ll look...
