New Smyrna Beach, FL


The downtown area of New Smyrna Beach begins only 1 block away from the municipal marina where a variety of restaurants and shops line the streets for local shoppers and visitors.
The fort-like coquina ruins in Old Fort Park lead some historians to believe New Smyrna was originally the site of St. Augustine and that it could be even 500 years older. Across the Musson Bridge and 2 miles to the east is an extraordinarily wide, sandy ocean beach that extends 13 miles.

Riverfront Park is bordered by shops and eateries on one side and Halifax River on the other. The park's 0.5-mile walkway starts just north of the main yacht basins and is a great place for water-weary boaters to stretch their legs. A moving stop in the park is the gravesite of Brownie the Town Dog who was "owned by no one but loved by all." Should you need more exercise, 23 miles of wide sand beaches are nearby, as well as the iconic boardwalk and pier, a bandstand and a splash park, playground and picnic areas. The Daytona Flea & Farmers Market is open weekends 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. with fruit and vegetables, clothing and jewelry plus a monthly classic car show (1425 Tomoka Farms Rd., 386-253-3330).
If you have transportation, tours are available of the famous Daytona International Speedway, which hosts events like the Daytona 500. This is also home to the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America (800-748-7467).
