Volusia County: See

Daytona International Speedway and its Daytona 500 Experience motorsports attraction are in Daytona Beach and are world-famous, and are a crucial factor bringing tourists to the area. However, speedway is not limited to Daytona Beach, as New Smyrna Speedway in New Smyrna Beach and Volusia Speedway Park in Barberville are also within the county.
Jackie Robinson was from Daytona Beach, and therefore the Jackie Robinson Ballpark is named after the African-American baseball player. The Bethune-Cookman University is named after Mary McLeod Bethune, as is a beach in New Smyrna. This university and others in the county, although not particularly notable to tourists, are an important part of the region's economy, as demonstrated by the picture of the Emery-Riddle University.
Other points of interest include Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse and Museum in Ponce Inlet and The Ocean Center in Daytona Beach. The lighthouse is named after the explorer Ponce de Leon, who visited the region and is associated with St. Augustine's "Fountain of Youth" in the St. Johns/First Coast region.
There is an itinerary, the Lake Ashby Boardwalk, on the northern shore of Lake Ashby between New Smyrna Beach and Deltona.
There are various other, lesser-known points of interest throughout the county, and details about these can be found in the individual city articles.
