Like I said, Bike Week spans almost the entirety of Volusia County. But obviously the heavy presence is in Daytona. So if youâre looking for some other fun things to do, keep reading.
Beach Street
This is easily one of our favorite places in the area. Itâs different from seaside Daytona Beach. The vibe is historic with tons of places to visit. As you ride, you’ll pass by a myriad of shops where you can snag some cool biker gear, beach bars where you can grab a cold one, and mouth-watering restaurants like the Tia Coriâs.
Beach Street isn’t just for Bike Week. Throughout the year, this place is alive with events like the Daytona Truck Meet, Biketoberfest, and even holiday parades. And when the sun goes down, the fireworks over the beach are a sight to behold.

Joeâs Crab Shack â Best View in Daytona
If you’re in Daytona Beach and have a hankering for some delicious crab, there’s only one place to go: Joe’s Crab Shack. Perched right on the Daytona Beach Pier, this joint offers not just scrumptious seafood but also a killer view of the ocean.
It’s a rooftop bar that gives you a panoramic view of the beach. Imagine sipping on a cold drink, munching on some crab legs, and watching the waves crash below. Sounds dreamy, right. They also regularly have musical acts and you can bet they will be there nearly every day during Bike Week. P.S. Thereâs a rooftop fireplace!

Daytona Beach Shores
If you ever feel like getting away from the hustle and bustle, just head south a few miles and youâll hit beautiful Daytona Beach Shores. From eateries to quiet, tranquil beaches, this place has everything.
Fysh Bar and Grill
This place is brand spankinâ new and I just know it will be packed during Daytona Beach Bike Week 2025. This place gives Joeâs Deck a run for their money in the âviewsâ department. Two stories tall, Fysh boasts several indoor and outdoor bars on each level.
The property is beautiful, clean and spacious. Enjoy drinks and a view of the Halifax River. Located just off the Dunlawton Bridge, this place is a must visist if you come down for Bike Week.
Jimmy Hulaâs
Not as loud as Fysh, these guys are also fairly new (considering the age of some of the areas classic eateries). Jimmy Hulaâs is Hawaiian themed. They have a great menu of interesting and tasty burgers. Located right under the Dunlawton Bridge, this place has some great views and chill vibes. Itâs quite small so youâll either need to get there early or get lucky.
Surfside Tavern
This place is the closest to an authentic biker bar. Surfside Tavern is tucked away in Daytona Beach Shores and is a great place for drinks and billiards. Itâs small, but worth the visit. Itâs strictly a bar so there is no food. Enjoy some cold drinks and step outside for a quick view of the beach.
Don Kiki Cigar Superstore
If you fancy a cigar and a place to smoke you have to visit Don Kikiâs. Itâs a huge cigar shop with an even bigger selection of fine cigars. From Cuba to Nicaragua, you can sample some of the finest cigars from across the world. Itâs also a great place to sit and have a stick and enjoy some good company.
P.S. weâd be remiss if we didnât mention the Daytona Cigar Club on Beach Street.
Outside the Daytona Beach Area
If you have the time and want to get out of town, you have to visit these two places.
