Love this town!

In addition to Daytona International Speedway, the movie also will be filming at other Daytona Beach-area spots, including Pappas restaurant.

Today marks the official start of turtle season, but somebody forgot to tell the turtles! Volusia County-managed beaches already have three sea turtle nests. The first nest was laid by a leatherback sea turtle on March 29, the earliest recorded sea turtle nest on county-managed beaches. The other two nests were laid by Kemp’s ridleys, the world’s smallest and most endangered species of sea turtle.

Please help us keep our beaches clean, flat, and dark to provide the best environment for these magnificent creatures! You can find more information at: https://bit.ly/3NmQEh3

Make sure the moon is the only light sea turtle hatchlings see during nesting season, May 1 to Oct. 31!

• Avoid using flashlights and cellphones on the beach at night.
• If you must use a flashlight, use a red light only when needed and dim the screen on your phone as much as possible.
• Never shine lights directly at sea turtles.
• Close blinds or draw curtains at night and make sure your property is compliant with the Volusia County Sea Turtle Ordinance.
