Top Reasons to Make Ocean Vistas in Daytona Beach Shores Your Home – Dining
One of the great things about a smaller city like Daytona Beach Shores is the prevalence of local, family-owned or independent businesses and restaurants. Many big chains will not come to cities with lower populations thus allowing for the prosper of small businesses. Daytona Beach Shores has many great dining options from super casual breakfast joints, to delicious fresh seafood options, to high end cuisine. These great local restaurants not only offer creative and original dishes, but also are located just minutes from Ocean Vistas.

Cracked Egg Diner – This local favorite serves up some of the best breakfast and lunch available along A1A in Daytona Beach Shores.

They have healthy options that come without cheese or try their delicious vegetable pizza with whole wheat crust. Though they are close to most homes in Daytona Beach Shores, Genovese’s also delivers making them a convenient and appetizing option.
Crabby Joe’s Deck & Grill – This local seafood restaurant may be a little touristy, but who can pass up on the breathtaking, panoramic views of the Atlantic coastline from the Sunglow Pier. Enjoy the fresh catch, delicious sandwiches and many other favorites like Crabby’s crab cakes and buffalo “shark” ribs as you sit out over the water. You can also fish from the pier here and make a day of it while enjoying their fully-stocked bar.
Top of Daytona Restaurant – Another Daytona Beach Shores dining option with a spectacular view, Top of Daytona is an upscale restaurant that serves flavorful steaks and unique dishes.
