Ormond By The Sea, Florida

Sleepy beach town filled with exotic wild life

Ormond By The Sea is a sleepy beach town filled with exotic wild life. Dolphin, shark, manatees fill our waters while osprey, bald eagles and screech owls fill our trees. This scenic road is called "The Loop" by locals. It's a gem of a road course keeping the feel of old Florida. Narrow curvy roads, completely canopied by trees blocking out our popular sun and eventually opens up to this scene. Just a mile or two straight and you will be on A1A, the road that parallels with the Atlantic.
