Where we fish & depart
Daytona Beach is not a port city
The nearest inlet to Daytona is Ponce Inlet, 10 miles south, and the best inshore water is the lagoon behind New Smyrna Beach. That is where the boat lives, so that is where we meet. Ten to fifteen minutes from the Daytona hotels, an hour from Orlando.
