A visit to New Smyrna Beach goes far deeper than the 17 miles of white sand beach and highly-rated surfing. Cutting-edge cuisine, a nationally recognised arts scene, and historical ruins are just the beginning of the adventure. With the ocean on one side, the Intracoastal Waterway on the other, and all kinds of exciting sustainability efforts in between, this cosy city offers the perfect getaway. Whether you’re interested in relaxing on the beach or discovering a new passion New Smyrna Beach has you covered.
The bays, creeks, and causeways around New Smyrna Beach are the perfect waterscapes for exploring. Outfitters along the Indian River offer rentals and tours for all ages. You can slide into the seat of a kayak, or try a stand-up paddleboard if that’s more your style. Either offers a good workout and a new vantage for observing sea birds and mammals without the distraction of a boat motor.
Shop along historic Canal Street and find a unique gift for that hard-to-please friend. Get all the necessities or the latest in Florida fashions at local shopping outlets. Stroll the five blocks from the river to the ocean along charming and historic Flagler Avenue to shop the unique galleries and boutiques.
Whether you’re downtown or in one of the surrounding towns that make up the greater New Smyrna Beach area, there are dozens of restaurants to choose from, that whip sustainably-grown local produce and fresh-caught seafood into five-star dishes that stand the test of time.
