About This Beach
Ormond Beach offers a charming alternative to nearby Daytona Beach with a quieter atmosphere while still allowing beach driving in designated areas. The beach town has significant historical interest as the ‘Birthplace of Speed’ where early automobile speed records were set on the hard-packed sands. The Ormond Scenic Loop & Trail provides a 30-mile scenic drive through diverse coastal and inland ecosystems. Historic downtown offers shopping and dining options away from the beach. The Casements, winter home of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller, offers tours of the restored mansion.
