Area code 386 serves parts of northeastern and north-central Florida, including Daytona Beach, Lake City, and Deltona. Created in 2001 from a split of area code 904, it was uniquely assigned based on local input—the digits "386" spell out "FUN" on a keypad, referencing the area's tourism appeal. Daytona Beach, known for its motorsports and beaches, anchors the region. Ten-digit dialing is required. Area code 386 reflects both the laid-back lifestyle and the seasonal energy of Florida’s Atlantic coast, encompassing everything from small towns to major tourist destinations in one cohesive identity.
