The Shores Resort & Spa
Daytona Beach, FL
2637 South Atlantic Avenue Daytona Beach Shores, FL 32118 (Tel) 386.767.7350 Reservations: 866.934.7467
Link to our 2018 Coastal Magic Convention reservations page will be included in your registration confirmation email.
Our reserve block this year includes:
- $139/night – Riverview | $149/night – Oceanview | $169/night – Oceanfront
- Plus standard hotel fees and Florida tax
- Plus $10/night Resort fee – I fought on this, and got it reduced, but the hotel won’t waive the fee entirely. For this, you get free self parking (valet is available, for anyone interested), two bottles of water, free wifi, access to hotel fitness room, access to DVD library, and a complimentary S’mores kit at checkin. 🙂
- VERY limited number of suites available – must call hotel for pricing and availability
If our reserve block sells out (which has happened every year, I’m afraid), there are hotels within a reasonable distance that have similar rates. I’ll post a link list below closer to July, after I’ve had a chance to check out the ones closest to The Shores.

Located at the boardwalk is the world’s hottest new attraction. The patented spring machine launches you 300 feet in the air at 100 mph for a unique adrenaline-pumping experience!

Day Trips
(Come a day early, or stay a day later, and see cool stuff!)
Historic St. Augustine – The nation’s oldest city. The historic areas are absolutely gorgeous, and there is so much to see and do. Lots of “oldest” sites, walking/riding tours, and “haunted” places to check out! (approx 1 hour north)
Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure (Orlando) – Home of the Wizard World of Harry Potter and other awesome theme park funness. There are so many cool movie/pop culture attractions. Universal CityWalk is accessible without park admission. If shopping/dining/people watching is your thing, this is a nice alternative to Universal Studios. (Note – to see ALL of the WWoHP, you will need the two park pass! Details on the website.) (approx 1.5 hours south)
Walt Disney World (Orlando) – Home of the giant mouse and all his friends. One of the most famous theme parks in the world, and a magical place (yes, even for grownups!) to spend the day. For those who prefer retail over roller coasters, Downtown Disney and Disney’s Boardwalk are a fun ways to experience some of the shopping/dining/people watching here, without park admission. (approx 1.5 hours south)
