The Daytona Beach cap, for the town that is the World’s Most Famous Beach. An unstructured cotton dad cap with the Daytona Beach vintage retro logo embroidered on the front in black thread.

The cap is the easiest Daytona Beach piece to wear every day and the easiest to give: one size, breathable cotton, a curved visor and an antique-brass buckle. It softens with wear and stays on the hook by the door. Order one for the beach bag and one for the glovebox.

A breathable cotton dad cap with a classic, vintage-inspired embroidered finish. The unstructured 6-panel, low-profile fit has a Permacurv visor, self-fabric hideaway strap with antique-brass buckle, matching undervisor, and four-row visor stitching for durability. All colors are 100% cotton; the camo variation is 65% polyester / 35% cotton. Since embroidery uses thread (not ink), slight differences from the digital product image are normal and part of the process. Full details in our Embroidery footer.

Mathias Day founded the town in the 1870s on a former orange plantation, and it incorporated in 1876. In 1903 Olds and Winton raced on the beach’s uniquely hard-packed sand, and for three decades inventors and daredevils set land-speed records here, ending with Campbell’s Bluebird at 276 miles an hour in 1935; beach-road racing ran until 1958.

The beach itself is the landmark: twenty-three miles long and about five hundred feet wide at low tide, firm enough that you can still drive on it. The 1937 coquina Bandshell, the boardwalk and Main Street Pier face the Atlantic, and the 1887 Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse stands nearby. The Birthplace of Speed is the mark on this piece.

All Daytona Beach Florida Items

The town began in the 1870s, when Mathias Day laid out a community on the former Williams Orange Plantation along the Halifax River. Henry Flagler's railroad reached the coast in the 1890s, and the resort grew; in 1926 Daytona, Daytona Beach, and Seabreeze consolidated into the City of Daytona Beach. Through it all the draw was the same: a uniquely wide, flat, hard-packed beach — firm enough that, to this day, you can still drive a car on the sand.

Our Daytona Beach logo carries Florida's alligator over "Florida Territory · Est. 1845," the year Florida joined the Union as the twenty-seventh state — the shared emblem of every Merlin Classics Florida place. Printed black-and-white with the worn look of an old crate stamp or woodcut, the gator reads as wild, sun-bleached Florida. What makes this one Daytona is the story behind it — the most famous beach, and the birthplace of speed.
