The drive

The Ormond Scenic Loop and Trail is a national scenic byway with four state parks and six local parks along it. This drive starts on Beach Street in Ormond Beach and runs north up Old Dixie Highway, then turns to Walter Boardman Lane and Highbridge Road, and returns south on A1A beside the ocean. It covers 21.9 miles.

The inland leg is narrow and shaded by a tree canopy, with Tomoka State Park along the way. The A1A leg runs beside the Atlantic and brings the drive back to Ormond Beach.
