Ormond Beach Florida Canopy Walk

The canopy in Ormond Beach is one of the most beautiful features in our town. Drive up Beach Street and you can experience the beauty and serenity of the canopy.

This photo was taken close to my home in Ormond Beach. We walk along this path nearly every morning with the dogs.

The photo is of the walking path on Central Avenue in Ormond Beach. As you can see there is a lot of green along the path. The Trails is close by and there are similar areas, but those are a little more populated with houses.

This is just an example of many of the wonderful walking paths in the area. We also walk on the beach in cooler weather, but it’s too hot for me during the warmer months. Even in the early morning, when the sun comes up it gets hot fast.

Walking along the river is very nice too. South of Granada Blvd. on Beach Street, there are no homes on the river. You can walk or ride a bike close to the river bank. The water from the river will keep things a little cooler during the warm months.

The are many beautiful sights in our area that can be enjoyed. Ormond Beach is a little more expensive community in general than Daytona Beach, but generally offers more open spaces. You can check out my site for more about Ormond Beach real estate.

Welcome to Photo Friday. This is a new feature where we highlight scenes of life in the Daytona Beach area. We have quite a few photos queued up, so this will be a regular Friday feature.

This photo was taken at 6:30 a.m. this morning off of Highbridge Road north of Ormond Beach and south of Flagler Beach. Highbridge Road can be accessed from A1A or John Anderson Drive. The bridge spans the Halifax River that is part of the Intracoastal Waterway. Highbridge Park sits at the southeast side of the bridge. There is a boat ramp and fishing walkway at the bridge. Manatees can sometimes be seen at the park.

There is a lot of water in the area. People fishing are often seen on the many access points to the water. This is a beautiful scenic drive any time of day. A really nice drive is to start at go north on Beach Street off of Granada Blvd. SR 40) in Ormond Beach and travel up the Canopy Road. Beach Street turns into Old Dixie Highway. Continue on to Walter Boardman Lane and turn right. From there turn right at the Stop Sign on to High Bridge. Take your time. The speed limit is low, but you really will want to take your time. It’s simply beautiful.

Here’s a link to the map if you’re interested in making the drive:
