Golf

With more than two dozen championship courses at your fingertips, moderate year-round weather, and value-packed rates, you'll enjoy golf as never before.

The Daytona Beach area offers courses designed by Rees Jones, Arthur Hills, Arnold Palmer, Gary Player, Lloyd Clifton and Bill Amick. Home to the headquarters of the Ladies Professional Golf Association, you'll find some of the country's most beautiful and challenging courses -- but without the hefty greens fees.

Fishing

Deep Sea: The Daytona Beach area features some of the best ocean fishing found anywhere. Marlin, with an emphasis on Blues, are found in the Gulf Stream. Closer to shore, Sailfish, Dolphin, King Mackerel, Wahoo and Tuna are caught on trolled baits. On the bottom around the numerous reefs, Grouper and Red Snapper are the most avidly sought species while the bruising kingsize Jack Crevalle and Amberjack provide tackle-busting variety. A fleet of nearly 25 offshore craft - including both private charter and party boats - sails daily, most from the docks at Ponce Inlet. The area plays host to the Greater Daytona Beach Striking Fish tournament each May.

Surf and Pier: Surf fishing here is a year-round sport. It requires only medium-weight tackle and some shrimp or mullet for bait. Hard-fighting species like Pompano, Whiting, Bluefish, Redfish, Flounder and Jack Crevalle thrive in the 23-mile stretch of fishing area. Many varieties of fish are caught from the Ocean Pier in the heart of Daytona Beach and the Sunglow Pier located at the southern end of the beach. There is a daily pier charge, with monthly and seasonal passes available.

Baseball

The Daytona Cubs are the Chicago Cubs' Class A affiliate in the Florida State League (FSL), a proven training ground for major league players. Winners of the 1995 and 2000 FSL championships, the Cubs play their home games from April to September.

Back in 1946, Jackie Robinson revolutionized modern baseball when he played his first spring training game with the Brooklyn Dodgers' farm team, the Montreal Royals. In honor of this historical event, a bronze statue was erected at the entrance to the ballpark which bears his name.

The legendary Stan Musial also played his minor league ball here, as did Chicago pitching phenom Kerry Wood.

Today, the 4,500-seat stadium is also home to four-time Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference champion Bethune-Cookman College and the Florida All-Star College Baseball Jamboree, which features some of the nation's best collegiate teams.
