The ocean itself, with its marvelous
beach, hard as macadam and smooth
as floor, is the greatest attraction.
although earth and air and sky seem
to have entered into combination
to enhance its every charm. The
beach is the famous automobile nee
course where every worlds straifht-
away record has been made, and Al
these records it continues TO hold
without rivalry.
/ The sand Of this famous speedway
is composed largely of the shells q
the ccquina clam which are abouf
one-ha1f inch long and very thin.
For ages Nature has been rolling
them mp. washing them back into the
surf and pulverizine 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 wave
leaves the wet, apparently soft beach.
these round particles settle down
into 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 width of 500 10 500
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 automobilins some
part of each day.
Seabreeze and Daytona Beach each
have permanent population OF ap-
proximately 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 acco-
mediation for all winter visitors.
Seabreeze contains a handsome
opera house and a Congregational
Church; at Daytona Beach is NJ E.
Church An excellent high school
IS situated near the division line be-
tween the two towns. Both towns
have enterprising business establish
lishments, as is evidenced by the
advertisements on the left and right
All the attractiveness OF Seabrceze
applies to Daytona Beach, the two
towns being SO similarly situated
The development OF Daytcna Beach
has been fully as phenomenal as is
sister on the north, and each year
there is substantial growth, The
great sand dunes have been leveled
and handsome homes have been
built for both winter and all-year-
roud occupancy. Flowering shrubs
have been planted, which are covered |
with wealth of bloom both summer
and winter.
Work OF rebuilding the Clarendon /
hotel is now in progress. This mag
nificent fre-proof structure, which IS
to contain $50 rooms, when com
pleted will be the peer of any hotel I
IN Florida. The site is immediately 1
north OF the clubhouse OF the Flo ;da
East Coast Automobile Association.
The Ocean Pier is great attraction
to fishermen and it Is lined summer
and winter with enthusiastic disci-
pies OF Iziak Walton, who find Il
