Ormond Beach is a charming coastal city in Volusia County, Florida, situated just north of Daytona Beach along the Atlantic coastline. Known for its hard-packed sandy beaches where driving is permitted, the city offers a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with a rich history dating back to the Timucuan Indians and later the Rockefeller winter residence, The Casements.
Visitors can explore the scenic Loop (State Road 40), a canopy road winding through ancient live oaks, or visit Tomoka State Park for kayaking and wildlife viewing. The downtown area features local shops, restaurants, and the historic Ormond Hotel site. Whether you're seeking beach relaxation, outdoor recreation, or a glimpse of Old Florida charm, Ormond Beach provides a welcoming destination on the state's northeast coast.
