Ormond Beach

The Atlantic Ocean and Halifax River define the setting of Ormond Beach — its barrier-island shore and sheltered stretch of the Intracoastal Waterway shape life around beaches, boating and riverfront parks. In the early 20th century, the firm sands hosted automobile speed trials, giving Ormond Beach its enduring “Birthplace of Speed” identity before racing moved south to Daytona Beach. The Casements, John D. Rockefeller’s former winter home on the Halifax River, is now a cultural center. The 30-mile Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail links the coast with river corridors and oak hammocks north of town.
