Pier Restaurant

Joe’s Crab Shack sprawls imposingly across the pier’s midsection, taking the place of the original casino after a $10 million, 2-1/2-year-long renovation. They offer, well, crab, of course – in steampots and buckets. And shrimp, salmon, redfish and lobster. Mussels and calamari. And clam strips, too. But there’s also sirloin and ribeye and herbed chicken. And pizza for the kids.

Perched right over the Atlantic, few places offer a better view of the water, or a look back at the beach and the Daytona skyline from beyond the shore. For a special treat, catch the moonrise over the ocean sipping something cool from the restaurant’s rooftop bar. It’s called, naturally, The Roof.
