Daytona Beach is a historic river city where tidal creeks and the Intracoastal define the local run. Boaters here work the Halifax River, Ponce de Leon Inlet, and the Intracoastal, and the fishing runs deep — Redfish, Spotted Seatrout, Flounder headline the local catch. With 10 public launch points in and around town, getting on the water is rarely the hard part; deciding where to point the bow is.
