Welcome<br />

I’m thrilled to welcome you—or welcome you<br />

back—to the New Smyrna Beach Area. The<br />

appeal of our lovely town goes far deeper<br />

than our 17 miles of white sand beach and<br />

highly rated surfing. Cutting-edge cuisine,<br />

a nationally recognized arts scene, beloved<br />

hotels, and historical ruins are just the<br />

beginning of the adventure. With the ocean<br />

on one side, the Intracoastal Waterway on the<br />

other, and all kinds of exciting sustainability<br />

efforts in between, our cozy city offers the<br />

perfect getaway—whether you’re interested<br />

in relaxing on the beach or discovering a new<br />

passion. We can’t wait for you to experience<br />

New Smyrna Beach for yourself.<br />

beach town on Florida's Central Atlantic Coast. With white sandy beaches just steps from<br />

welcoming hotels, inns, beach-front houses, and condos, you'll see why New Smyrna<br />

species of birds, dolphins, manatees, turtles, and more. New Smyrna Beach's beach town<br />

charm with its beauty and bounty is the perfect combination of laid-back luxury.<br />

lies along the edge of the Indian River, putting great fishing<br />

and spectacular views right at your doorstep. It’s no surprise<br />

that legendary boat company Boston Whaler recently expanded its<br />

blueways. Launch from Menard-May Park to explore these trails;<br />

paddle around mangrove islands to see pelicans, herons, and other<br />

birds. Go angling for redfish with Edgewater River <strong>Guide</strong>. Then dine on<br />

luxury private homes with saltwater pools enshrouded in verdant dunes, there’s<br />

Need help deciding?<br />

YOU CAN ALWAYS turn to Ocean Properties for its<br />

plethora of vacation rentals, from oceanfront town<br />

homes with walls of pecky cypress and smooth<br />

Spanish tile underfoot, to a quaint Florida cottage with<br />

its own glassed-in pool, or a serene riverfront condo<br />

where you can play shuffleboard on the lighted court as<br />

the evening temperatures cool. Great Ocean Condos and Homes<br />

expertly manages over fifty resort complexes, from the north<br />

end of New Smyrna’s thirteen miles of powdery white beaches<br />

to its less crowded southern end where the barrier island tapers<br />

into the wilder Canaveral National Seashore. They can help<br />

position you nearer to deep-sea fishing outlets or to the jetties<br />

for legendary surfing action, they can nestle you into a penthouse<br />

condo for elevated ocean hypnosis, or they can hook you up with<br />

a beach house whose rooftop balcony offers stunning 360 views.<br />

Wherever you choose to lay your head, chances are you’ll want to<br />

stay with us a little longer, and yes, that can certainly be arranged.<br />

SITUATED ALONG FLORIDA’S A1A, New Smyrna is known for its beautiful<br />

beaches and surf spots, but the food scene here goes far beyond typical beach bars<br />

and national chains. Whether you’re downtown or in one of the surrounding towns that<br />

make up the greater New Smyrna Beach area, there are dozens of area restaurants<br />

that whip sustainably-grown local produce and fresh-caught seafood into five-star<br />

dishes that stand the test of time.<br />

ALONG THE MAIN DRAG of New Smyrna Beach’s Flagler Avenue sits a hidden oasis.<br />

A narrow, palm-lined path opens up to the eclectic outdoor eatery Third Wave Cafe.<br />

Take a cue from the octopus décor and order the Galician pulpo—roasted, drizzled<br />

with a sweet chile glaze, and served over stewed garbanzo beans and whipped<br />

potatoes. Nearby at Café Verde, it’s about all-natural unique dishes: Choose from plenty of<br />

vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options including tacos, tortas, gyros and bowls.<br />

RECIPE<br />

SIGNATURE FLORIDA<br />

SPINY LOBSTER BISQUE<br />

Ingredients<br />

• 4 tbsp. butter<br />

• 1 medium onion, finely chopped<br />

• 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped<br />

• 2 stalks celery, finely chopped<br />

• Kosher salt<br />

• Freshly ground black pepper<br />

• 3 cloves garlic, minced<br />

• 2 tbsp. tomato paste<br />

• 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour<br />

• 4 cups seafood or fish stock<br />

(We render the shells to make stock)<br />

• 1 1/2 cups. dry white wine<br />

• 1 bay leaf<br />

• 2 sprigs fresh thyme de-stemmed<br />

• 1/2 c. heavy cream<br />

• 1 lb. cooked Spiny lobster meat, chopped<br />

Directions<br />

1. In a large, heavy pot over medium heat, heat butter.<br />

Add onion, carrots, and celery and cook until soft, about<br />

7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in garlic<br />

and tomato paste. Cook until garlic is fragrant, and<br />

tomato paste coats vegetables, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle<br />

over flour and cook, 1 minute more.<br />

2. Pour in seafood stock and wine, then stir in bay leaf and<br />

thyme. Reduce heat and let simmer until liquid is reduced<br />

and flavors meld, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.<br />

3. Remove bay leaf and thyme and purée with an immersion<br />

blender until very smooth. Return to medium-low<br />

heat and stir in heavy cream and lobster meat, cooking<br />

just until warm, about 5 minutes.<br />

Taste<br />

Laid-back local favorites.<br />

FOR A REFRESHING START to the day, head to Lilly Rose Cafe for acai bowls,<br />

fresh-pressed juices, and fruit-and-veggie-stocked smoothies that’ll fuel you<br />

for the day to come. On revitalized Canal Street nearby, there’s Yellow Dog Eats<br />

for gourmet sandwiches like the Johnny Rocket with honey mesquite turkey,<br />

raspberry melba, cherry peppers, brie, and Cointreau mayo. Or head to tiny upscale cafe<br />

City Market Bistro for a falafel burger or steak frites with bordelaise.<br />

If watersports are on the agenda, head to the south end of New Smyrna Beach to the<br />

unassuming JB’s Fish Camp. There, you can order up a cajun-style seafood platter (don’t<br />

miss the blackened gator) while enjoying views from the dock, then rent a kayak or paddleboard<br />

and hit the water yourself. They’re also one of many New Smyrna-area restaurants with<br />

a catch-to-cook program—bring in your fresh fish and they’ll blacken, fry, or broil it to your<br />

preference and serve it up with fries and slaw.<br />

Old-Florida favorites.<br />

PLENTY OF SPOTS ARE WORTH THE DRIVE OUT of New Smyrna Beach proper. Oak Hill is home to<br />

nine generations of the Goodrich family, who started Goodrich Seafood in the early 1900s. Now<br />

more than a century later, Goodrich Seafood & Oyster House is still an institution. It’s run by the<br />

Galbreath Restaurant Group but still serves up the same favorites—including Friday and<br />

Saturday’s all-you-can-eat fish and shrimp specials, fried frog leg baskets, and fried alligator<br />

tacos. Out in Osteen, the casual and homey Osteen Diner welcomes visitors with loaded burgers,<br />

WATER PLAY. IT’S TIME.<br />

The ocean washes cares away.<br />

Truly. If there’s one thing days at New Smyrna<br />

Beach will teach you, it’s to never underestimate<br />

the effect of saltwater.<br />

Gaze toward the Atlantic from the white sands<br />

of this barrier island beachfront, and it’s like a<br />

happy dream realized. Or venture into the tidal<br />

marshes, lagoons and bays of the Indian River in<br />

the fascinating ecosystem between New Smyrna<br />

Beach and the mainland. Maybe there will be a<br />

fishing rod in your hand, or you’ll decide to go<br />

all in to swim, surf, or gear up for a SCUBA dive.<br />

Nothing compares to the weightless release of<br />

a plunge into sun-warmed saltwater.<br />

Aah, the freedom.<br />

VISIT<strong>NSB</strong>FL.COM 49


Explore<br />

Island-Ocean-Lagoon<br />

Kind of Days<br />

ARRIVE VIA THE CAUSEWAY, and you’re already oceanside. The<br />

sandy shoreline in New Smyrna Beach stretches for 17 miles<br />

between Ponce de Leon Inlet and Canaveral National Seashore.<br />

Nature’s beauty is sparkling in every direction.<br />

You’ll want to get your toes onto that sugary sand, but beach play is just<br />

the start. Maybe you’ll also play through on the golf links, pedal coastal<br />

trails, or stand-up paddle into the citrusy sunshine.<br />

And for those who dream of the catch, offshore charter boats motor out<br />

daily from New Smyrna Beach marinas to the Gulf Stream. Inshore, the<br />

Indian River’s path on the sheltered backside of the island is a<br />

remarkable habitat for marine life. Fly fishing for redfish is red hot.<br />

Kayak/ Sup.<br />

FOLLOW THE DOLPHINS AND MANATEES—the bays, creeks and causeways around New<br />

Smyrna Beach are the perfect waterscape for exploring. Outfitters along the Indian River<br />

offer rentals and tours for all ages. You can slide into the seat of a kayak, or try a stand-up<br />

paddle board if that’s more your style. Either offers a good workout and a new vantage for<br />

observing sea birds and mammals without the distraction of a boat motor.

Catch A Wave<br />

THERE ARE A FEW KEY INGREDIENTS that<br />

make a surfing spot great, and New Smyrna<br />

Beach has it all. From steady, year-round<br />

waves, miles of white sandy beaches to its<br />

laid-back vibe, this beloved surfing hub has<br />

been a go-to among avid surfers for decades.<br />

Its legendary surf scene has been<br />

recognized worldwide, making a number of<br />

prestigious lists, including National<br />

Geographic magazine’s “World’s Top 20 Surf<br />

Towns” and Surfer magazine’s “Best Surf<br />

Towns in America.”<br />

Here, the surf is always up, and the<br />

adventure is always high. Thanks to rock<br />

formations located a few miles offshore, the<br />

wave breaks are some of the most consistent<br />

in Florida, if not the East Coast. And<br />

because surf conditions are always right,<br />

New Smyrna Beach is a top destination for<br />

some of surfing’s premier annual<br />

competitions, including those held by the<br />

American Professional Surfing Association.<br />

Ready to ride? Just grab your board. Here’s<br />

Surfing Lessons &<br />

Summer Surf Camps<br />

WHETHER YOU WANT TO SHARPEN YOUR SKILLS or just a<br />

few basics, you can learn from some of the best pro-wave<br />

riders at Jimmy Lane’s Surfing Academy.<br />

Competitive pro surfer Jimmy Lane launched his popular<br />

school more than 36 years ago, and since, he has trained<br />

more than 30,000 surfers of all ages and experience levels.<br />

“Surfing is about a relationship with nature,” says Lane.<br />

“The ocean and the waves connect us all, and there’s no<br />

greater feeling than to be out in the water.”<br />

Camps focus not only on surfing skills and techniques but<br />

also on the importance of water and ocean safety.<br />

“Success in learning how to surf is also about understand ing<br />

how to be ocean smart,” Lane says. “During camp, you’ll<br />

gain a deep respect for the ocean as well as build your<br />

confidence by understanding and testing your limits.”<br />

Maintaining a healthy mind and body helps surfers<br />

enhance their riding abilities, so exercises like paddle drills<br />

are part of the program.<br />

“It’s the most fun you will ever have in the water,” Lane says.<br />

“And yet one of the most physically demanding sports there<br />

is. It requires a wide range of physical abilities to be able<br />

to paddle out and get your balance on your board.”<br />

Campers also learn about rules of the water, equipment<br />

safety, and surfing etiquette.<br />

Beyond summer camps, private one-on-one lessons are<br />

available for experts and amateurs alike. Custom sessions<br />

can also be arranged for groups, such as birthdays and<br />

special corporate events.<br />

From the tiniest and most delicate of seashells to the massive size and<br />

beauty of right whales, the warm waters of New Smyrna Beach, in the<br />

heart of Florida’s ecologically diverse east central coast, offer a magical<br />

metropolis of ichthyological wonders.<br />

W here Water Meets the Sky<br />

BELOW THE SURFACE of the broad blue expanse of the Atlantic and filigreed ribbons of freshwater<br />

blueways and estuaries of the Indian River, which anchor New Smyrna Beach and meld it with<br />

the ocean’s saltwater, is a spectacular underwater garden that includes vividly-hued fish, silvered<br />

dolphins, and jewel-toned coral reefs. It is here aficionados of water – divers, snorkelers, swimmers<br />

and fishermen, women and kids – can immerse themselves into an aquatic world that has no<br />

equal along Florida’s coastline. Whether you seek sportfishing, photographing nature, exploring<br />

the coral reefs and sunken ships or just spending a relaxing day on the water, you can find true<br />

adventure in New Smyrna Beach. Going on a maritime safari in New Smyrna Beach provides plenty<br />

of mesmerizing opportunities to discover all that the water has to offer, including spotting pods of<br />

whales showing out on the distant horizon, schools of mackerel shimmering in the sun, aggregations<br />

of manatees meandering the lagoons, flocks of herons or pelicans dotting the skies or hordes of<br />

crustaceans sweeping along with the tides.<br />

its abundant nutrient-rich marine plants on which they feed. Add into that mix the chance to gather<br />

or either buzz through during migration season. From dolphin to sunset cruises, from kayaking to<br />

A Renewal of Life: Shuck and Share<br />

PERHAPS NEW SMYRNA BEACH’S most celebrated inhabitant is the plump, delectable<br />

oyster, a seafood restaurant favorite for the well-crafted palate in appetizers, entrees or<br />

outdoor roasts. That means thousands of pounds of oyster shells could potentially be<br />

tossed into landfills, were it not for the innovative Shuck and Share program. Shuck and<br />

Share is an oyster shell recycling initiative that began at the Marine Discovery Center<br />

and puts the shells, which still contain live larvae, back into the environment as reefs for<br />

new oyster beds, in effect creating a magnificent living, breathing shoreline. Best of all, the<br />

homegrown program has spread to coastal communities across the United States, assuring<br />

the life cycle of the oyster doesn’t end when it’s shucked from the shell and served on a plate.<br />

Whether you walk quietly along the wide beaches and watch the waves drift in from the<br />

Atlantic, loll along the blueways and listen to the avian choruses in full song or stand<br />

amazed as the sun rises over the Atlantic in its flamboyantly golden and pink splendor of<br />

this maritime kingdom, you realize that no better place exists for close encounters of the<br />

nautical kind than New Smyrna Beach. Visit www.visitnsbfl.com to plan your journey to<br />

area boasts a wealth of additional<br />

opportunities for locals and tourists to get<br />

The Creative Scene<br />

is filled with well known local and national artists, plus<br />

numerous options for visitor participation.<br />

Author: Linda Marx<br />

SURROUNDED BY MILES of picturesque<br />

waterways, scrub oaks, sabal palms and<br />

sand pines, it is no wonder artists from<br />

around the country find fulfillment and<br />

productivity in this enchanting city. The best<br />

way to seize the thriving art scene is a walk<br />

through the Canal Street Historic Art District, a pedestrianfriendly<br />

area leading to an abundance of galleries.<br />

Start at The Hub on Canal, a central co-op styled gallery of<br />

about 63 artists gathered in a 10,000-square-foot historic<br />

building that was once a silent movie theater. Founded in<br />

2010, The Hub on Canal was designed for an eclectic<br />

group of artists to create, showcase, and teach art in a<br />

communal environment.<br />

“Visitors can see one or two artists working at any time and<br />

are able to engage with them,” explains Richard England,<br />

President of The Hub on Canal. “They can even talk<br />

technique with a painter.”<br />

The Hub on Canal also offers the talents of artists in<br />

ceramics, sculpture, glass, photography and other<br />

disciplines. Adults and children can participate in a variety<br />

of classes, from music and performance events (mostly in<br />

winter), language and acting, to a fashion club which<br />

culminates in the creation of a New York style fashion<br />

show, and other activities devoted to the arts.<br />

In walking distance is Arts on Douglas, a 3,500-squarefoot<br />

gallery that once was a used furniture warehouse, and<br />

before that a Ford showroom and service center. An offsite<br />

part of the Atlantic Center for the Performing Arts, the<br />

internationally acclaimed exhibition space with prominent<br />

artist residencies located on the 2,300-acre Doris Leeper<br />

Spruce Creek Preserve a few miles away, Arts on Douglas<br />

offers a two gallery presentation. There is the “Main”<br />

which exhibits a broad range of styles, and the “alt_space"<br />

devoted to contemporary Florida artists in conceptual art,<br />

sculpture, video, digital and new media. You are welcome<br />

to engage in a dialogue about art process, method,<br />

concepts and materials.<br />

A must-see see<br />

IN THE HISTORIC DISTRICT is Jane’s Art Center located in a cool<br />

and contemporary building. This stunning 1,600-square-foot<br />

gallery exhibits internationally and nationally acclaimed and<br />

upcoming artists. There is also a 1,200-square-foot ceramic<br />

studio open to all levels of participants with classes conducted<br />

by established artists and visiting professors.<br />

The nearby Artists’ Workshop is a perfect place to take an arts class or<br />

enjoy a workshop and various gallery exhibitions. Once a month is the<br />

Gallery Walk, which takes place the first Saturday from 4 p.m.-7 p.m. You<br />

will visit four galleries offering changing exhibits with opportunities to ask<br />

questions or make purchases.<br />

For local history and a glance at a stellar collection of artifacts, visit the<br />

New Smyrna Beach Museum of History. For African-American history, the<br />

Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum in a restored church, offers newsy<br />

photographs, poignant memorabilia, and information on racial relations in<br />

the 20th century.<br />

top-tier multi-course dinners.<br />

Staged at the lofty, state-of-the-art Brannon Center with<br />

stunning views of the Intracoastal Waterway through its<br />

floor-to-ceiling windows, the festival culminates in a popular<br />

champagne brunch to the tunes of melodious jazz. And<br />

Perhaps the most endearing event of all takes place on<br />

Sustainability<br />

Shuck and share<br />

THE MARINE DISCOVERY CENTER is a standout sustainability<br />

leader in New Smyrna Beach. Through its “Shuck and Share”<br />

program, restaurants are able to dispose of shucked oyster<br />

shells at the Center. Instead of the shells going into trash cans<br />

or a landfill, they’re used by volunteers to build reefs. Once in<br />

place and back in tidal saltwater, the oyster shells help keep<br />

the water clean, stabilize shorelines, and create growing communities<br />

for living oysters.<br />

All of these efforts begin to add up. And the local participants<br />

and visitors can learn, share, and be part of a better future for<br />

New Smyrna Beach and beyond. Now, that’s travel that matters.<br />
