Historical place full of a lifetime of memories. So happy that they have preserved this site. The Bandshell sits right on the edge of the beach. Picture perfect- waves rolling in while listening to some wonderful music. Or just get there early in the morning and catch the beauty of nature and feel the tranquility as you watch the... rise.

Cute little area. There is a parking garage just across the street from here that makes for really great easy access! The shops and restaurants everywhere make for easy restroom availability too!

Im so grateful to the volunteer organization Friends of the Bandshell for all their hard work and dedication to keeping this beautiful place running. It is my understanding there are forces trying to have it demolished. Visit and donate and do whatever you can if you appreciate the bandshell. They work so hard.

It was night time and raining. So idk what its about, but its a huge public flat ground made of stone that seems lit on weekends. Stay safe if going out! :) its right at the beach to swim.

We ate at Wing House. Girls looked good, head was on a swivel but, wings were not good. Boneless were tough, mango-habanero sauce saved the day

Went to see Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band... had to set in the next to the last very back roll of seats, even though barely anyone was seated in the 20 + rolls of seats in front of us... when we asked about the availability of the multitude of empty seats, we were told that they only sell tickets to the seats that are still available... I think that their system may need to be rethought a little... it definitely is possible that due to the weather that people that prepurchased seats decided not to come... I feel that after a reasonable time frame, others should be able to move up closer to stage in their same price sections of seats that they purchased...

The Bandshell is one of the most awesome and unique venues around and the summer concert series is great for relatively free entertainment. It gets crowded which makes it hard to get to vendors, find a place to watch the show, etc. but I always enjoy going anyway.

Watched the Beatles tribute band Let It Be. A fairly decent group in an open venue that could use a better sound system. However, one of the bright spots was the groups drummer. Vocals a little weak but, again, given the acoustics... Hot, no breeze, crowded. Still, a fun evening.

Very beautiful place with the boardwalk nearby. Food, drinks, and entertainment is plentiful. The beauty of the Atlantic Ocean is just steps away. There is a public use shower to wash the sand off nearby too.

Review №27

This venue is so much fun. It provides a great sound and lots of room for patrons to enjoy the concerts. There are food and beer trucks along the outter edges. You can bring your own chairs or rent white plastic ones for 2/$5. Plan to arrive early to park your vehicle, walk over the sky bridge, and reserve your spot for the concert. Since this a free concert, they will ask for donations and pass around buckets. Fireworks happen around 945pm and are very worth your time. We enjoyed Never Stop Believin, a Journey tribute band, last night. They were pretty darn good. Concertscrun from May to September and would highly recommend attending.

Lovely old-school craftsmanship put this up. Now, tourists, locals, homeless and crooks mingle in open air for events.Disgarded needles, barf and more are litter on the ground and the benches. Plenty of healthy-looking rats scurry to and fro.Be warned: this is a risky place. Watch where you sit!

Good place for a beach day with teenage kids. The fireworks at night on Saturdays are pretty cool. Lots of people asking for money or trying to convert you. The Boardwalk amusement rides are all old and need to be knocked down. It is an okay place to spend a day or night.

Review №52

Daytona beach is just...a little rougher than the other more sophisticated and beautiful parts of florida.I guess its ok for tasteless young spring breakers, but for people who prefer nicer things there are many other nicer options in florida.I would only return if I were seeing a car race. And even then Id think twice.But the people are oh so friendly and absolutely lovely, thats for sure.

We were here on New Years Eve 2018 there was live music plenty of food choices tons of people we felt very safe it was a great way to ring in the New Year. Afterwards we walked back to the hotel on the beach. Ate at the Ocean Deck, you have to try it.

Was there durning a Tom Petty tribute band and it was a really good time. It was all ages, plenty of seating, plenty of restrooms and pretty clean for how many people were there. The stage was really pretty at night and I wish I had a picture to share. We had a great time!

Re
Review №65

First of all its free. There is a free concert every Saturday night starts at 7:15 followed by fireworks. There is plenty of seating. The Cover bands are usually pretty good ( sound like the true bands). You can also watch from any of the restaurants around the band shell in the Ocean Center or by foods/ drinks from the small stands around the grounds of the band shell. Fireworks are always worth watching too

Review №69

Its a cool place with a nice vibe. However, you cant have a drink at a show or set up chairs and what not so its sort of an odd place for a concert venue. I mean what are you supposed to do; stand? Plus the no drinking rule is pretty silly. Deffinetly cant give more than 3 stars despite the location and great scenery.

AC DC tribute band forgot the words to ACDC songs. Fail LOL but I always seem to have a good time at Bandshell despite the rude security there. Rolling Stones tribute was great!

Best beach by far. I love coming here as it is the cleanest and nicest beach around. The water is clear and beautiful year round. They do have public bathrooms not too far away and there are lots of options for parking. It is a great spot for families. They also have a fountain area to play in for those that dont like the salt water

Review №79

The boardwalk reminded me of something out of the movies. The beach is gorgeous. Not a speck of debris on it because its constantly patrolled for any type of trash. The water looked clear and inviting (and I dont even swim). Even the light tan colored sand is compacted & smooth so that people can walk, sit, lay and enjoy it without getting loose sand all over or slightly sinking into it. It is no wonder that Daytona Beachs beach is considered as the Worlds Most Beautiful beach. Also there are rides, food and shops here.

Went to enjoy the cover band with family and friends. Family and friends were continually harassed by security guards (specifically one old, over weight, short, white staff member) Do NOT recommend, unless you like being verbally abused and accused of stealing a 2.50 chair that you rented for your 4 year old niece to sit down.
