A new Ocean Front Park has just opened in Ormond By The Sea, Florida.

Volusia County has added a new park to provide additional off beach parking.

North Shore Park in Ormond By The Sea, Florida is at Roberta Road on the east side of A1A. The site was the location of the Happy Whale Condominium and the Happy Whale Restaurant. Those buildings had not been well maintained for many years and were demolished in 2001 due to an accumulation of code violations.

Part of the same project includes approximately 1 acre on the west side of A1A at Carol Road that will provide additional parking for the park. Amenities in addition to the approximately 100 parking spaces include 2 beach access ramps, bike racks, restrooms and showers. One of the beach ramps is for handicap access. The new park is just down the road a few hundred yards from Tom Renick Park.
