Sun Splash Park

An okay beach, but could be better.
The good thing about this spot is that parking is free and very close to the ocean. Otherwise, it’s definitely not one of the best beaches in the Daytona area.
The beach itself is kind of dirty. Lots of seaweed and other debris, but is hasn’t even been stormy. There are bright lime green cones all over the place. We get it, no parking cars here.
The crowd is a bit on the loud and rambunctious side. Not exactly classy, to put it politely.
The bathrooms are foul smelling. In dire need of cleaning. At least there was a good amount of front row parking on a Monday. Besides that, there’s nothing too spectacular about this place.

Great free place to spend the day, kids have a playground and water park. There are charcoal grills to use and tables to set up shop. Covered tables and parking is limited so come early. Also bring cash because there are ice cream venders and such on the beach.

I visited Sunsplash this weekend with my family. I don’t have any complaints. The parking was free, ample showers right on the beach and by the rest room. The beach is just a short walk from the parking lot and is handicap accessible which was a big plus b/​c my mom came with us. Our whole family had a good time. The beach wasn’t overly crowded, weather and water felt great. The life guards on duty definitely kept there eye on the water and the waves. We shall return!

This place was great. There was great parking. The beach was lovely. It was very family friendly. There were rental chairs and umbrellas. There also is a place to purchase food.

Sun Splash Park is a pleasant little beachy park in the midst of lots of great beaches and parks. It’s a crowded place in the summer but then so is every beach in Daytona.
It’s lovely beach if you happen to enjoy long, flat areas of wide sandy ocean front.. The waves are usually pretty decent and on windy days can get pretty feisty but it is usually pretty mellow and a good place for kids.
In fact the whole park impressed me as appealing to kids. Not crazy, drunken and insane kids like Daytona gets at certain times of the year but younger kids that want to play on the beach and in the ocean.
Some nice picnic benches, relatively clean bathrooms, drinking fountains and some things for the young ones to play on makes Sun Splash park a nice place for a family outing.

not a good «park!» ghetto, dirty nasty.
I saw a homeless man poop right in front of a crowd of people. people were cheering him on :/​
that’s Dirtona for ya

Great little park. Good Amount of parking and you can park on the beach for even easier access. Beach is wide and perfect for a walk, run or bike.

A great little park in middle of Daytona. I try to avoid the parks because it gets very busy because of free parking. This week the weather was cool so the crowd wasn’t bad. Its a nice park with a kids play area, grills, and bathrooms and picnic tables.

Free parking! Always a plus. This is the driving part of the beach, so less beach to enjoy. I use this beach often and always have a good time.

I love Sunsplash Park! There are picnic tables, little tiny grills, restroom facilities, vending machines, and fun fountains that toddlers like to run through. There is ample free parking and convenient access to the beach! Don’t miss this oasis!

Great fun for young kids. It’s in an iffy area and there are some strange people there sometimes. Safe, but keep your eyes on your kids as a good parent should at all times. It’s right on the beach and they have bathrooms and outside showers.

Fun in the Sun!
This is one of Daytona’s newest parks, and is a great place to go on the weekends. However, since this is right in the heart of Daytona Beach, there are generally a lot of tourists and kids running around.
The Good:
Looks cool: There’s all these really intesting sculpture-​like poles with little fish statues on them. Okay, that sounds a little weird, but thiss place really does *looK* like fun. There are lots of bright colored shade spots as well, and the whole place looks like the perfect day at the beach.
Play at the beach: Sure, you’ve been to the Playground, and you’ve been to the beach, but at Sunsplash park, you can go to both! The playground here is quite nice, and there’s even a little interactive fountain that the kids can play in.
The Bad:
So many people…: This place tends to fill up very fast, especially on the weekends. Generally the playground is all full up and people are all cloistered together. Even if you go early, there’s are so many people here even then that it doesn’t really matter.
Even though Sun Splash Park is a great facility, the crowds really make it a secondary place for me. I much prefer the quiet tranquity of Winter Haven. But if you don’t mind the people, then Sun Splash will fit the bill quite nicely!
Overall 7.9/10= Fun in the Sun Splash!
