Ormond Beach at a Glance
Situated on Florida's east coast at the northern end of the greater Daytona
Beach resort area, Ormond Beach attracts visitors seeking a relaxing beach
vacation and possibilities for outdoor adventure. Tomoka
State Park, located just south of Ormond Beach, affords a range of activities,
including boating, camping, fishing, hiking and picnicking. One of the city's
most popular attractions is the
Casements, which was the winter home of oil magnate John D. Rockefeller
from 1914 until his death in 1937. Today, the Casements is a bustling cultural
and civic center that features Hungarian folk art, Boy Scout memorabilia and an
exhibit of Rockefeller's personal possessions. Lovers of nature and art appreciate
the serene landscapes at Ormond
Memorial Art Museum and Gardens, which features a 4.5-acre botanical garden,
nature trails and changing exhibits of contemporary Florida
art. Ormond
Beach Performing Arts Center is the spearhead of the city's performing
arts scene, offering concerts, musicals, plays and family-oriented shows throughout
the year.
