The Halifax River on the west and the Atlantic Ocean on the east surround Ormond Beach. Is a home to numerous rivers, lakes, and springs, Ormond Beach is an ideal location for a myriad of water activities. Relax in the most elegant way and enjoy an easy access to flashier destinations nearby, such as next-door neighbor Daytona Beach or Orlando, just over an hour away.
While the shore offers the sun-seeker miles of white sand beaches for relaxation, water and jet skiing, surfing, windsurfing, parasailing, scuba diving, and deep-sea fishing are the various activities carried out in the surrounding waters. There are variety of cultural and recreational events offered throughout the year. Musicians recognized both nationally and internationally are showcased at the Jazz Matazz, an annual event held over the 4th of July holiday.
