Getting to know Ormond Beach
Just north of
Daytona Beach along Florida’s Atlantic Coast, Ormond Beach offers a first-class
resort experience without sacrificing its small-town grace. One of the town's
earliest settlers was millionaire John. D. Rockefeller, and Ormond Beach still
provides residents and visitors with elegant relaxation – though, now, it also
allows easy access to busier nearby destinations such as next-door neighbor
Daytona Beach to the south or, just more than an hour away, Orlando to the west
or St. Augustine and Jacksonville to the north. Bordered by the Tomoka River on
the west, the Atlantic Ocean on the east, Ormond Beach is an ideal location for
a myriad of water activities. Ormond Beach offers a variety of cultural and
recreational events throughout the year.
The simple pleasure of strolling along the city’s historic downtown main street
cannot be overlooked. Ormond Beach has one
of the most active and thriving residential and commercial markets in the
region. Home to several historical sites, state parks and museums, the city
attracts residents who enjoy a moderate climate and a wealth of educational,
recreational and employment opportunities without the hassle of big-city
living.
