Ormond Beach Vacation Rentals and Hotels

Ormond Beach, Florida is found just north of Daytona Beach on Florida's East Coast. Offering plenty of sun and surf activities on both the Atlantic Ocean and the Halifax River, favorites include sailing, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, fishing, boating, swimming, and beach volleyball. Ormond Beach golf courses are the perfect place to practice your swing in the year round temperate climate. The city is known as the Birthplace of Speed, with auto races on its sandy shores in the early 20th century. These beach races gave birth to the Daytona 500 and the founding of NASCAR. Around the same time, John D. Rockefeller summered in Ormond Beach, and his historical summer home, The Casements, is now a cultural center offering exhibits and art classes. Just a few steps away is the beautiful Memorial Art Museum and Gardens. Here you will find a serene botanical garden full of such tropical species as bamboo, banana plant, and sago palm, all native plants of Florida. Much larger is the Bicentennial Park, with 40 acres of nature trails, picnic areas, a scenic boardwalk, a fishing pier, tennis courts, basketball and volleyball courts, and a playground. When you're finished enjoying the natural beauty of the area, a variety of upscale restaurants and shops line the downtown Ormond Beach area on both sides of the Halifax River.
