The Shores Resort & Spa presents an entirely different face of the Daytona Beach area — a sophisticated boutique resort far removed from the race crowd and spring break energy of the main strip, occupying a beautiful direct Atlantic beachfront location in quieter Daytona Beach Shores. Its beachfront ceremony lawn, outdoor terrace overlooking the ocean, event rooms with Atlantic views, full-service spa for bridal party prep, and intimate boutique scale create a refined beach wedding experience that is accessible from throughout Central Florida and Jacksonville while offering genuine Atlantic coastal beauty with none of the typical Daytona Beach baggage.

Sunset times are calculated for this venue's coordinates, shown in EDT for the 15th of each month in 2026. Golden hour is the 60 minutes before sunset. The ceremony start is my rule of thumb — about 2 hours before sunset, so a short ceremony and family photos still leave the two of you in golden light. Adjust it to your own timeline. Average temperatures and rainfall are NOAA 1991–2020 normals from DAYTONA BEACH, 1.8 miles away.
