I had a uncle who stopped in Daytona on his honeymoon on his way to south Florida.This was about 45 years ago.They wanted to drive on the beach.Back then you could drive on it.They parked there car on the beach ,took a walk,got something to eat and went to there hotel. A few hours later they went to get the car and it was in about 3 feet of water because the tide came in.I don't remember what happen to the car,but they never forgot there honeymoon.
