Ormond Beach is a little suburb of Daytona Beach the motor racing mecca of the Southeast USA. Ormond Beach has retained a sense of dignity, as opposed to Daytona's brass-i-ness. It's a lovely beach, and while they will allow you to drive your car on the beach, you are not permitted to walk your dog on the beach. Go figure! Ormond Beach is convenient to the Daytona International Airport, one hour from Orlando International and two hours from Jacksonville International.
