Golden Magnolia Marine

It’s time you added your own chapter to the Golden Magnolia Marine resort story. Historically known as the Riley Peck property Golden Magnolia Marine resort located just across the street from Halifax Harbor Marina in the Historic District of South Beach street Daytona Beach Fl. The land resort sits on was once the part of Orange Grove, the plantation owned by Samuel Williams beginning in the 1790s. With the end of the Civil War came the northern pioneers, drawn to the ocean and access to the riverfront through Ponce Inlet. Matthias Day from Mansfield, Ohio who made his living selling sugar mill machinery and farm tools arrived in 1871 and purchased 2,145 acres f the former Samuel Williams sugar plantation and later founded the town of Daytona. The area’s two oldest houses, built by Peck brothers, still sit on that property. These two large, white frame houses, joined by a breezeway are now Golden Magnolia Resort.
