About this postcard

A landscaped plaza with curving walkways, hedges and a red-tiled open pavilion leads toward the arched bandshell, with the Atlantic Ocean and beach beyond. The Daytona Beach Bandshell was built in 1937 as a Works Progress Administration project and became the centerpiece of the city's oceanfront park and boardwalk entertainment district. The card's caption borrows the long-standing local slogan for the city's hard-packed strand, "The World's Most Famous Beach."
