Ocean Center, arena in Florida, United States

Ocean Center is a convention center and arena in Daytona Beach, Florida, opened in 1985. Its wide, gently curved white roof sits above a lower facade with a long glass-panelled entryway under a curved metal canopy, and a single exhaust stack rises near the left side of the roof. Inside are 205,000 square feet of meeting space, a 42,000-square-foot main arena and a 94,695-square-foot exhibit hall.

Ocean Center opened in 1985 with 60,000 square feet of exhibit space and 18 breakout rooms. Amy Grant played the first concert on October 3, 1985, to 2,938 people; John Denver headlined the grand opening two days later before 7,368. A $3 million ECHO grant later funded a Cultural Information Center and a new façade and entrance along N. Atlantic Avenue.

The Ocean Center's name comes from its coastal setting, and its lobby holds a Cultural Information Center funded by a $3 million ECHO grant, displaying works from the "Arts in Public Places" program and rotating cultural displays from across Volusia County. A marquee mural above the ballroom doors changes with the center's exhibits.

The main entrance and Cultural Information Center face N. Atlantic Avenue, behind a row of palm trees along the street. A 100,000-square-foot parking and outdoor exhibit area sits next to the Exhibit Hall, whose drive-in door measures 20 by 16 feet and is served by six loading docks with self-adjusting levelers. Ceiling heights in the Exhibit Hall range from 22 to 45 feet.

The arena hosted the 1996 WCW Bash at the Beach pay-per-view, where Hulk Hogan turned heel and formed the New World Order. The venue also held the 2019 AEW Fyter Fest and, from 2018 to 2024, the Community Effort Orlando eSports tournament.
