Small photographs fill two lines of bold lettering on a vivid orange ground. The beach is the subject and the name is the structure that holds the views together.
The hard-packed sand at Daytona and Ormond Beach drew motorists as well as bathers. An official program survives for the second annual Ormond–Daytona Beach races in 1904, a record of the coast’s early role in American auto racing.
