North Peninsula State Park was acquired by the state of Florida in 1984, when the land north of Ormond-by-the-Sea was set aside as a state park. It lies off State Road A1A, east of the Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park, in Volusia County. The park protects a stretch of Atlantic shoreline and the adjoining coastal terrain, which rises only about four metres above sea level.
The park lies along the Atlantic shore of Volusia County, north of Ormond-by-the-Sea and east of the Bulow Plantation Ruins, reached from State Road A1A. Its beaches and dunes are the setting for sea turtle nesting, and the adjoining Smith Creek Landing gives anglers and paddlers a launch point on the inland side.
Visitors find best access through marked entrances and should bring sturdy shoes for the walking trails. The paths can become slippery when wet, so checking weather conditions before arriving is wise.
Along the Ormond Scenic Loop, there is a bicycle repair station equipped with specialized tools for long rides. This facility makes the area particularly appealing for cyclists exploring the coastal route.
