"OCEAN BEACH, on the eastern limits of the city, is a broad stretch of sand and surf accessible from a number of streets on the peninsula. The bathing zone between Silver Beach Avenue and University Boulevard is protected by lifeguards, and has first aid and rescue facilities. The beach is lined with wooden umbrellas painted red, yellow, blue, and green, con-trasting vividly with the white sand. When the tide is low the beach is popular for driving, and rows of cars park on the sand above the wide driving area and the surf. Bicycles and motor scooters are popular convey-ances, and colorfully clad bathers go far out on the gradually sloping shelf
of sand into the surf. The well-known Daytona Beach speedway is an n-
mile stretch, 500 feet wide at low tide, extending from Ormond Beach on the north to Ponce de Leon Inlet on the south."
--Florida, A Guide to the Southernmost State, 1939
