alton, marks this as one of the most
healthful locations in any section Of
the country, north, east, south or Yves.
The ocean itself. with its marvellous
beach, hard as macadam and smooth
as a floor, IS the greatest attraction.
although earth and air and sky seem
to have entered into a combination
to enhance its every charm. The
beach IS the famous automobile race
course where every worlds straight
away record has been made, and all
these records il continues to hold
without rivalry.
The sand Of this famous speedway
IS composed largely Of the shells Of
the COquina clam, which are about
One-half inch long and very thin.
For ages Nature has been rolling
them up, washing them back into the
surf and Pulverizing them. Examined
under the microscope each particle
IS round, unfit for mortar, builders
say, because its smOothness prevents
its holding together, yet, strange to
contemplate, the very moment a wave
leaves the wet, apparently soft beach,
these round particles settle down
into a cement almost as hard as as
Phalt, beyond the comprehension Of
one who has not seen it. Repairs are
unnecessary, as twice each "A hours
it IS entirely rebuilt by the tides
The beach has a width Of 800 to 500 |
feet, and can be used from two hours
after until two hours before high tide, |
thus giving an average Of seven or
eight hours for autCmo5ilins some
part Of each day.
Seabreeze and Daytona Beach each
have a permanent population Of ap-
proximateIy 1900. Sanitary ordi-
nances are strictly enforced, streets
and sidewalks are we'll kept, and
new streets are being opened as fast
as the increasing population de-
mands. Besides hotels and boarding
houses there Is ample cottage aoco-
mediation for all winter visitors.
