Nestled between Ponce Inlet and Daytona Beach, Wilbur-By-The-Sea is one of two unincorporated communities along the Florida coast. Established in 1912 by Jacob W. Wilbur, a Boston real estate dealer, this coastal community is less of a tourist hub and more of a residential area with some of the most impressive beachfront homes in Volusia County.

Living in Wilbur by the Sea

Do you desire a resort-like lifestyle away from the crowds, with a bonus of clear skies and front-row access to the glistening waters of the Atlantic? Then Wilbur-By-The-Sea is sure to meet your lifestyle requirements. This small neighborhood that 31,000 people call home provides gorgeous coastal views, tasty waterfront dining, and stunning beachfront homes.

Wilbur Beach is where locals partake in sun, sand, and surf. This beach’s fine golden sand and a moving backdrop of turquoise waters make it a popular destination for dream weddings. A short walk from the beach is the Wilbur Boathouse, an intimate reception venue.

Foodies need only go to the beach for a taste of culinary wonders from the local waterfront dining spots. One of them is Boondocks Restaurant & Tiki Bar, a favorite watering hole among residents since 1995. It serves freshly-caught seafood, grilled burgers, and signature cocktails, among many others. Then in nearby Ponce Inlet, you’ll find Racing’s North Turn Beach Bar and Grille, a consistent Top 10-ranking Best Florida Beach Bar for nine years in a row. This beach bar is a historical landmark as it sits on the exact location where racing began in Daytona Beach. Unwind with friends or family on the expansive deck overlooking the beach while relishing tasty wraps, steaks, pasta, and seafood with cold beers and cocktails.

Spectacular ocean views provide the perfect backdrop for beachfront homes in Wilbur-By-The-Sea.
