Ormond Beach, on Florida’s Atlantic coast just north of Daytona Beach, feels like a calm coastal town with wide beaches, a walkable historic downtown, scenic river and state-park trails (Tomoka), plentiful water sports, and a growing dining and craft-beer scene—perfect for making a multi-week assignment feel like a relaxing, active getaway rather than being stuck.
You’re minutes from Daytona’s events and nightlife and roughly an hour to Orlando’s airports, theme parks and larger-city amenities, so you get small-town pace with big-city options nearby.
