DAYTONA BEACH CAMPUS
Eagle's Nest link Embry-Riddle's Daytona Beach Residential Campus

The Daytona Beach campus is next to the airport and near the beach!

Sunny Daytona Beach has year-round flying weather. Our 178-acre campus is just 15 minutes from the beach and about 60 miles north of Kennedy Space Center. Most space vehicle launches are visible from campus. Flight students walk from dorms to the flight line — the campus sits on the edge of Daytona Beach International Airport. Our 4,800 students from all fifty states and many countries spend a lot of time looking up --there's most always a plane to gaze at. Check out the action at our flight line with realtime Webcams.
