4.5 Beach Massage and Spa (8 reviews)
- Best Massage Spa In The Daytona Area
Spas

After relocating to Florida and trying several different spas I discovered Beach Massage when they opened about 8 years ago. They have always maintained a very professional clean environment that makes it a pleasure to visit. Their therapists have always been friendly and very competent. About 3 years ago a therapist named Kerry started working there and since then I've always requested her as she is the nicest and best massage therapist I've ever had and I've been getting massages for over 25 years. Several times I've had extreme lower back or upper neck issues and she always relieved my pain. I highly recommend Beach Massage and wish I could give it 10 stars. To top it off, you can go directly across the street and walk on the beach for even more serenity. See more..
