Ormond Beach
Spanish moss draping old oaks
Sea bird sanctuaries with lookout platforms
Storks, pelicans and seagulls cry for attention
Hammerhead sharks cruise the Gulf Stream
Hurricane-vulnerable, small cottages
Home to stock car races, bikers
Antique auto enthusiasts
Surfers line the east horizon
Unpredictable waves
Undertow, sand crabs and sea turtle eggs
Let's leave our footprints
In fine, white sand
Collect angel-wing shells
Listen to beach-side church bells
When we visit
Ormond Beach
