Ormond-by-the-Sea is a secret tropical paradise — here's how to make the most of it.
Al Weeks Park is right at the end of the street to the east — a very short walk from your rental. Come bask in the Florida sun, surf, fish, walk on the beach, or just relax and enjoy nature's beauty. Great for individuals and families alike. From May to November you can spot sea turtle nests and even see the traces of mama turtles coming in and out after laying their eggs.
A short walk to the west end of the street brings you to Roberta Fishing Dock and Kayak Launch — the best sunsets around in a great secret tropical paradise. Grab a beverage, sit back, and watch the show. Catch a wide variety of fish and enjoy a high chance of seeing dolphins and manatees swim by.
This scenic state park is a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts. It features hiking trails, picnic areas, and opportunities for boating, fishing, and wildlife viewing. Visitors can also explore the park's historic sites and learn about the area's Native American history — family-friendly fun for all ages.
This picturesque 30-mile loop offers stunning views of Ormond Beach and its surroundings. A popular route for bikers, cyclists, and scenic drives with several stops to appreciate the area's wildlife and habitats. Stop for a morning beach walk before taking a trip around the Loop.

Summer Bandshell Concerts fill warm evenings with live music on the beach. Riverfest (the beloved seafood festival) celebrates the best of the local catch along the Intracoastal.

Just minutes from the house, Bicentennial Park is home to several outdoor pickleball courts — one of the fastest-growing sports in Florida. Whether you're a seasoned player or picking up a paddle for the first time, the courts are open to the public and a great way to meet locals.
