Brilliant Florida January Sunset in Ormond By The Sea

Colors and light change in a brilliant dance as the sun sets on the western sky on a cool January evening. Ormond by the Sea Florida is just north of Ormond Beach up A1A. It is a quiet community with many nice homes and affordable condos. This photo was taken on the picnic mound at Bicentennial Park. Bicentennial Park is right across A1A from the ocean and is a good parking place to enjoy watching the ocean. There’s also beach access directly across from the park.

The night was sweatshirt weather as the ocean breeze cooled the air quickly with the setting sun. The late afternoon was cloudy so there was a good possibility of a nice colorful sunset. Patience was rewarded.

There are several picnic tables overlooking the ocean in Bicentennial Park. Think about coffee and breakfast as you watch the sun rise. The beach in the area is uncrowded and is very nice for walking or just sitting and watching the waves break.

Bicentennial Park is about 4 miles north on A1A from Granada Blvd (SR40). There’s a nice family style restaurant just a few steps up the road from the park called Betty’s A1A Cafe. We’ve been going there for years and always get a good meal with lots of food.
