2024 N EW SMYRNA BEACH AREA VISITORS GUIDE 

Welcome 

I’m thrilled to welcome you—or welcome 

you back—to the New Smyrna Beach Area. 

The appeal of our lovely town goes far 

deeper than our 17 miles of white sand 

beach and highly rated surfing. Cuttingedge 

cuisine, a nationally recognized arts 

scene, beloved hotels, 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, 

our cozy city offers the perfect getaway— 

whether you’re interested in relaxing on 

the beach or discovering a new passion. 

We can’t wait for you to experience 

New Smyrna Beach for yourself.

By Plane 

No less than five international airports 

in the area make getting here a breeze: 

Daytona Beach (18 miles away); Orlando 

Sanford (30 miles); Orlando (60 miles); Orlando 

Melbourne (74 miles); and Jacksonville (118 miles). 

Coming by private aircraft? The New Smyrna Beach 

Municipal Airport is just 2 miles outside town. 

By Car 

Motoring along mighty Interstate 95? 

Take exit 249; the New Smyrna Beach 

Area is just a few miles east. From 

Interstate 4, take exit 118. And U.S. Highway 1, also 

known as “Old Dixie Highway,” leads you straight 

into downtown and the Historic District. 

By Train 

Hit the rails with or without your car 

on the Amtrak Auto Train, which runs 

between Florida and the Washington, 

D.C. area. Disembark at Sanford, Florida, about 

35 miles west of New Smyrna Beach; it’s an easy 

drive into town. 

By Bus 

Greyhound stops in nearby Daytona 

Beach, and the Volusia County bus 

service (Votran) provides local commuter 

service from there. Take the #4, #7, or #12 to 

Port Orange and the #40 into New Smyrna Beach. 

By Boat 

Floating the Intracoastal Waterway 

or sailing in from far-flung waters? 

Dock at the New Smyrna Marina 

(ICW channel marker #35) or the New Smyrna 

Beach City Marina (ICW channel marker #38).

beachside restaurants, bars, quaint boutiques, and shops to explore. With private 

bedrooms, a living room, and a full kitchen – combined with all the comforts

Welcome 

New Smyrna 

Beach Area 

We’re the second oldest 

city in Florida 

Known for small-town charm with big-city 

flavors that focus on local freshness and sustainability, 

it’s a one-of-a-kind beach town on 

Florida’s Central Atlantic Coast. With white 

sandy beaches just steps from welcoming 

hotels, inns, beach-front houses, and condos, 

you’ll see why New Smyrna Beach has been 

named one of Florida’s best beach towns by 

both the Huffington Post and Smarter Travel. 

It’s an irresistible playground with an endless 

supply of laid-back outdoor fun, trails, and 

adventures. Discover a thriving arts scene, 

an iconic lighthouse, a charming downtown, 

ongoing activities, and so much more. Our 

natural attractions include 17 miles of white 

sandy beaches from Ponce de Leon Inlet 

to Canaveral National Seashore and North 

America’s most diverse estuary – the Indian 

River Lagoon, home to more than 4,000 

species of birds, dolphins, manatees, turtles, 

and more. New Smyrna Beach’s beach town 

charm with its beauty and bounty is the 

perfect combination of laid-back luxury.

Welcome 

New Smyrna 

Beach 

Sprawl on the sand and be 

splashed by the surf; it’s 

just the beginning of your 

one-of-a-kind adventure. 

The epicenter of this area, the city of New 

Smyrna Beach offers endless possibilities 

for excitement. For surfers, it’s where to find 

great waves, while beachgoers can stroll mile 

after mile of white sand. Foodies can find new 

trends in cooking, while their spirits-loving 

counterparts can sample locally made craft 

beers and handcrafted rum. Anglers come 

for the fishing, history buffs can explore centuries-old 

ruins, and eco-connoisseurs can 

marvel at all the wildlife basking in these pristine 

surroundings. And that’s just scratching 

the surface. No matter what your passion 

might be, you’re likely to find an outlet for it 

in New Smyrna Beach. 

WATERFRONT STAYS

from the fun.

LIFT YOUR SPIRITS 

You’re never too far 

from all the fun 

at the beach.

SHOP UNDER THE PALMS 

Stroll and shop 

in nature at 

The Pavilion 

at Port Orange. 

Welcome 

Port Orange 

A brand-new park has 

put this riverside enclave 

in the spotlight. 

Come bask in the glow. 

The gorgeous halifax river is a centerpiece 

of this city just north of New Smyrna Beach. 

And now there’s a new way to take in the view: 

Riverwalk Park, with paved pathways and a 

splash pad for kids, makes for a great stroll. Or 

bring your clubs and shoot for par on the undulating 

fairways at Cypress Head Golf Course. 

Canoe and kayak your way around Spruce 

Creek Park, take a boat tour on Cracker Creek, 

or step back in time to explore the ruins of the 

Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens. Endless exploration 

is just the beginning.

Welcome 

Edgewater 

Experience the slow pace 

of life by the river’s edge. 

True to its name, this city just south of New 

Smyrna Beach lies along the edge of the Indian 

River, putting great fishing and spectacular 

views right at your doorstep. It’s no surprise 

that legendary boat company Boston Whaler 

recently expanded its headquarters here, or 

that this has become the epicenter of the area’s 

blueways. Launch from Menard-May Park to 

explore these trails; paddle around mangrove 

islands to see pelicans, herons, and 

other birds. Go angling for redfish with a local 

charter. Then dine on fresh fish at hot spots 

like JC’s Riptides and Elliott’s Roadside Grill. 

If you’re a surfer or would like to learn, get 

stoked! The PerfectSwell® Edgewater is 

coming soon. The facility will feature a worldclass 

PerfectSwell® Surf Pool and will have a 

beachfront and cabanas to relax. There will be 

a full-size surf-inspired restaurant and lounge, 

plus a lunch area, a retail surf shop, a surf 

training facility, clubhouse, meeting rooms, 

cabana, and day lounge areas. 

STAY ACTIVE 

Enjoy Edgewater’s miles of 

family-friendly, paved, 

walking and biking trails.

Welcome 

Oak Hill 

There’s something fishy here, 

and that’s just the point. 

World-class fishing attracts anglers to this 

small city south of New Smyrna Beach, and many 

head straight for Mosquito Lagoon. Cast for 

monster trout and year-round redfish; to add a 

taste of Old Florida, stay in a bungalow at one 

of the fish camps. Explore the ancient past at 

Seminole Rest, which features prehistoric shell 

mounds and two turn-of-the- 20th- century 

buildings. Then bring past and present together 

at Goodrich Seafood, which began as a retail 

fish shop back in 1910 and today serves up 

mouthwatering po’ boys, oysters, fresh fish, 

and delicacies like fried alligator. 

TOUR SEMINOLE REST 

Historic Site. Canaveral 

National Seashore. 

12 


BACK TO NATURE 

Hike and horseback ride 

among the 150 acres of 

Hickory Bluff Preserve. 

Welcome 

Osteen 

Serenity, nature, and some down-home Florida cooking 

imbue the Osteen area with a personality all its own. 

Rural old Florida comes to life in this inland 

community southwest of New Smyrna 

Beach. Explore the flora and fauna of 

Beck Ranch, a working cattle ranch turned 

25-acre park. Search for wildlife among 

the cypress and oak trees at the 150-acre 

Hickory Bluff Preserve, which overlooks the 

St. Johns River. Visit a multipurpose trail like 

the East Central Regional Rail Trail, which 

runs through Osteen from Edgewater. Then 

enjoy Osteen’s old-school feeling with all-day 

comfort food at the Osteen Diner, which 

serves dishes like biscuits and sausage 

gravy and Cinn ‘O’ Bun Rolls like grandma 

used to make.

Sustainable Seafood & 

Local Ingredients Make 


A Place For Food Lovers 

Taste 

Author: Julekha Dash 

The New Smyrna Beach Area has long lured 

surfers and wildlife watchers in search of the 

perfect wave and a glimpse of bottlenose 

dolphins. Now, the word is getting out that the 

A1A towns deliver fresh local seafood bursting 

with local and international flavors, making 

them a food lover’s paradise. The settings are 

equally impressive, with lush gardens and 

expansive decks that take advantage of the 

area’s ample waterways. 

FOODIES 

Endless choices of great flavors. 

22

RELAX WITH FRIENDS 

Enjoy a fresh seafood feast and a 

delicious Napa Cab at 

Corkscrew Bar and Grille 

The main thoroughfare in New Smyrna Beach, 

Flagler Avenue, is teeming with boutiques, 

art galleries and cafes to fill you up after a 

long day of shopping and people watching. 

Located a few blocks from the water, 

Third Wave Cafe and Wine Bar relies on local 

farms for its produce and serves wild-caught, 

sustainable fish and shrimp. Mediterranean 

flavors shine in dishes like the roasted 

octopus with Spanish rice and Za’atar-dusted 

hummus, best enjoyed on the verdant patio. 

Head to the other end of Flagler to find the 

pink beachfront landmark, the Breakers 

Ocean Front Restaurant and Bar. Grab a bar 

stool along the window facing the ocean and 

watch the Atlantic waves while enjoying one 

of the more than dozen burgers (including 

the veggie kind). 


23


Taste 

Head a mile south to relive your childhood 

dreams of climbing into a treehouse at 

Norwood’s Restaurant and Treehouse Bar. 

Order the seafood pot pie, a creamy mix 

of scallops, crab, fish, and shrimp, topped 

with puff pastry. Vegetarians won’t go 

HIKE hungry THE here, SEMINOLE with dishes REST like pimiento mac 

Historic and cheese Site. Canaveral and zucchini bread served with 

National Seashore. 

local honey. After the sun sets, string lights 

illuminate the tree branches for a truly 

magical evening. 

Just west across Indian River North, diners 

head to Outriggers Tiki Bar & Grille for the 

day’s fresh-caught Florida fish, tacos, bowls 

and raw bar. They pair well with the zombies 

and mai tais, best enjoyed on the wraparound 

patio offering a view of the marina and river. 

Head to the historic, tree-lined streets of 

Canal Street for farm-to-table Southern fare 

at General Public House. Their seafood 

cake is made with lobster and shows up 

on the daily appetizer menu and as a 

hollandaise-drenched star of the Sunday 

brunch menu. Fans of the sweeter side 

can opt for the Cap’N Crunch French toast. 

Offering something for everyone, Fysh Bar 

& Grill fuses Italian, Japanese, Caribbean and 

American flavors in Port Orange, 15 minutes 

north of New Smyrna Beach. Hawaiian poke, 

Asian-inspired shrimp tacos, Caribbeanstyle 

conch fritters, and a dedicated sushi 

menu are just some of the offerings you can 

enjoy on the rooftop bar with views of 

the Halifax River. 

More enticing food awaits Down Under…no 

not Australia. The area under the Dunlawton 

Bridge next to the Halifax River, known as 

Down Under, has become a popular eating 

and drinking destination. Fill up on sustainable 

whitefish tacos, burgers and burritos 

at Jimmy Hula’s, a surfing-themed Florida 

favorite. Order a plate of fried seafood or 

ribs at Our Deck Down Under, where the 

outdoor space takes in views of the bridge 

and arriving boats. If you’re lucky, you might 

see a bobbing dolphin or two to round out 

the perfect day by the water. 

24 


ANY WAY YOU LIKE IT. 

Try a fresh fillet of Redfish 

or Snapper on the water at 

Outriggers.

Author: Julekha Dash 

Sipping tropical drinks while watching the 

sunset has become an essential part of the 

beach experience. And there’s no shortage of 

places to do that in the New Smyrna Beach 

Area. But you’ll also find craft breweries, wine 

bars and a distillery to satisfy your thirst for the 

perfect pour to start or finish your evening. 

AY 

Begin at one of the area’s premier 

destinations, Flagler Avenue, full of shops, 

restaurants and bars. Avanu on Flagler will 

kick up your brunch game with delicious 

specialty cocktails. Order from the menu’s 

bao buns, spring rolls and sushi for dinner 

to go with the variety of rum-based frozen 

drinks, including the classic pina colada and 

strawberry daiquiri.

Fans of frozen drinks and margaritas 

can also get their fill down the street at 

Flagler Tavern, a bustling, two-story mainstay 

with outdoor seats facing Flagler. Drinking with a 

group? Order the Fish Bowl, a rum, curacao and 

pineapple cocktail garnished with Swedish fish 

and served in a souvenir fish bowl. For a more 

intimate experience, head to the upstairs speakeasy, 

The Bounty, where bartenders serve Old 

Fashioneds, Sazeracs and other classic cocktails 

in a unique setting that blends vintage and nautical 

decor. 

Another great spot for cocktail lovers, Sugar 

Works Distillery, espouses a farm-to-glass 

philosophy. Located in the Canal Street Historic 

District, the distillery produces bourbon, whiskey, 

moonshine and rum using regionally sourced 

heirloom grains. Watch the skilled mixologists

make drinks or take an hour-long tour to learn 

how the spirits are made in the area’s first 

distillery in 250 years. 

It’s worth the 20-minute drive south to the 

family-owned waterfront seafood shack, Oak 

Hill’s Goodrich Seafood & Oyster House, where 

you can slurp oysters while enjoying a mango 

bellini or tequila sunrise at the tiki bar. Or enjoy 

the drinks outside on the massive deck with a 

top-notch view of the Indian River. 

where comfy couches, funky decor and video 

games will make you feel at home. Choose the 

English session ale, blonde ale, classic IPA, or 

from a variety of wines and hard seltzers. 

Another laid-back destination for wine lovers 

awaits in the Canal Street Historic District. 

Crimson House serves a variety of red, white, 

sparkling and rosé wines in a former historic 

home. Sip them on the porch or on the relaxed 

patio where wine barrels double as tables. 

Beer lovers can order a flight to sample the dozen 

or so beers from New Smyrna Beach Brewing 

Company. The rotating offerings may include a 

Latte Stout brewed with coffee beans, a fruity New 

England IPA and a cider. Or head Down Under, 

an emerging waterfront drinking and dining 

destination in Port Orange, to Dunes Brewing, 

Starting as a wine club, SoNapa Grille now 

operates as a full-service restaurant that 

celebrates the wine and food of Napa Valley. 

The vino list pulls from some of the best known 

brands in wine country and includes everything 

from buttery chardonnays to bold cabernets — 

the perfect nightcap after a day of exploring.

Trailblazing In 


There’s more to explore 

beyond the shore 

Author: Kinsey Gidick 

Florida has plenty of busy beach towns. But 

if you prefer a laid-back coastal vacation 

where you can experience nature on two 

feet or two wheels, consider the five-community-strong 

area of New Smyrna Beach, 

just an hour’s drive from Orlando. Thanks to 

significant efforts from cycling advocates, 

this area of Florida is a bike rider’s dream, 

with as many paved and natural trails as 

beautiful beaches. But even without a helmet 

and two wheels, New Smyrna Beach’s 

courses, many wheelchair accessible, invite 

every visitor to opt outside. 

The NSB Outdoor Trail is a great place to 

start to get a lay of the land. The fifty miles 

of paths and elevated boardwalks overlook 

dunes, allowing pedestrians to enjoy eight 

stops along the way. Rest or enjoy a picnic 

at Grayce K. Barck North Beach Community 

Park, a stunning natural beachfront property. 

Alternatively, get a hands-on look at the 

Indian River Lagoon’s ecological diversity 

by stopping at the Marine Discovery Center 

during your excursion. 

E-bike enthusiasts will also find a warm 

welcome in the New Smyrna Beach Area. 

Electric bikes are ideal for tooling around the 

coastal community. But if you’re hunting for 

46 


a rich array of wildlife, cruise off the main 

drag to the Doris Leeper Spruce Creek 

Preserve. This vast 1,637-acre park has 

miles of well-marked mountain biking trails 

to scout various estuary species and a shell 

midden. The pile of shells was constructed 

over 1,000 years ago by indigenous peoples 

of the St. John’s culture. 

For a more family-friendly path better suited 

to tiny feet, hike over to Eldora Hammock 

Trail. The 1/2-mile route is a shaded 

hammock area perfect for running, playing, 

and maybe even spotting an armadillo. 

Casual bike riders and serious cyclists 

alike will find something to appreciate in 

the East Central Regional Rail Trail, the 

most extended rail-to-trail path in the state. 

This 52-mile ride connects Volusia (home of 

New Smyrna Beach) with Brevard County. 

Close out your walk or ride with a visit to 

Smyrna Dunes Park. Located on the tip of 

an inlet, this handicap accessible spot for 

visitors and locals provides sweeping views 

and close encounters with shorebirds and 

gopher tortoises. 

When it’s time to pedal home to a hotel or 

Airbnb, you’ll find an equally walkable and 

bikeable community to greet you and reward 

you with stunning coastal views and some of 

the best seafood in the country.

Take it Outside 

9 Great Excuses for 

Spending Your Entire 


Vacation in the Sunshine 

Author: Kinsey Gidick 

For most visitors, the chance to spend an 

entire vacation under the sun is one of the 

biggest reasons for booking a trip to Florida. 

But in New Smyrna Beach, outdoor activities 

extend far beyond sunbathing (although that 

pastime is fully endorsed here as well). In 

this off-the-beaten path Florida destination, 

you can while away the hours outside in any 

number of fashions, from water sports to eco 

tours. 

Naturally, New Smyrna Beach’s 17-miles of 

crystal coastline are the main attraction. 

One could spend hours soaking up the stunning 

Atlantic views. But when it’s time for a 

sun-break, why not explore North America’s 

most biologically diverse estuary, the Indian 

River Lagoon? Viking EcoTours is a family-run 

operation dedicated to exposing people to 

the rich biodiverse playground that is New 

Smyrna Beach. And there’s no more whimsical 

way to experience it than on the company’s 

Bioluminescent Kayak Tour. Paddle 

along the Indian River while marine dinoflagellate 

light up below you giving your cruise 

a magical glow. 



Surfing is also a wildly popular New Smyrna 

Beach pursuit thanks to swells considered 

the most consistent surf break in Florida. 

BYOB—bring your own board, or visit any 

number of local surf shops to get outfitted. 

the Indian River Lagoon is a 156 miles aquatic 

wonderland and the Marine Discovery Center 

works to bring its majesty and magic to 

people through lectures, hands-on workshops, 

field trips, and camps. 

All the action isn’t limited to the horizon. 

In-shore anglers will be rewarded with snook, 

trout, and black drum right off Smyrna 

Dunes Park Fishing Pier. However, the big 

catch on many people’s minds is tarpon, the 

silver king of the Florida coast. New Smyrna 

Beach also calls itself “The Redfish Capital 

of the World,” and the Indian River Lagoon is 

the best place to cast them. 

New Smyrna Beach’s rich biodiversity is 

better understood with a visit to the Marine 

Discovery Center, a must-visit for travelers 

with children. Home to some 4,000 species, 

If standup paddleboarding is more you 

speed, head to Bird Rookery Paddle Blueway 

Trail for a lowkey ride. Glide through another 

worldly mangrove forest on this 2.9-mile 

trail. For more advanced paddle boarders, 

navigate oyster beds and sandbars trekking 

across the Intracoastal waterway on the 

2.6-mile Brown’s Bay trail. 

In New Smyrna Beach, the opportunities to 

play outside are endless. Just pack the SPF, 

and the area’s outdoor outfitters will take 

care of the rest.

It’s a land-based sport, sure, but water features 

are often backdrops at championship public golf 

courses in the New Smyrna Beach Area. Yearround, 

New Smyrna Beach has a long history of 

hosting some of Florida’s best play—including 

the Indian River Open, held annually for more 

than 50 years. Area courses include the New 

Smyrna Golf Club, established in 1948, where 

rolling greens are dotted with towering palms 

and windswept pines.

Hang ten in one of the 

best surfing destinations 

in the country 

Author: Rebecca Treon 

Named one of the best surf towns in America 

by SURFER magazine, New Smyrna Beach is 

one of Florida’s top surfing destinations. A 

favorite for its consistent waves, visitors might 

even surf alongside pros like Kelly Slater and 

Lisa Anderson. With popular beaches like 

Smyrna Dunes Park and Bethune Beach 

Park among the top local spots, surfers of 

any skill level will find a place to catch a wave. 

Read on for our guide to NSB’s surf culture. 

THE NEW SMYRNA BEACH 

MUSEUM OF EAST COAST SURFING 

The museum opened in 2014 inside the 

New Smyrna Beach Museum of History, 

this unique space features extensive 

displays of surfing memorabilia like 

surfboards, surf art (some created by local 

Jimmy Lane), and photos documenting 

the area’s surfing history. This is a great 

place to visit to catch the vibe of the local 

scene. https://nsbhistory.org/new-smyrnabeach-museum-of-east-coast-surfing/ 

THE LOCAL COMPETITION 

New Smyrna Beach is home to two surf 

clubs–the Smyrna Surfari Club, which is 

one of the oldest in the world, and the NSB 

54 

SURF’S UP


Board Riders Club, which focuses on giving 

back to the community. Both host surfing 

competitions, too. Other competitions include 

the Southeast Volusia Chamber Surf Contest, 

the Toyota USA Surfing Prime Surfing Series, 

the NSSA Competition, and the Gnarly Charley 

Surf Series for kids under 16. There’s the Mike 

Martin Pro event, the Southeastern Regional 

Championships, and others, so whether you 

want to compete or be a spectator, you have 

plenty of options. 

JIMMY LANE 

A local legend, Jimmy Lane is behind the 

Jimmy Lane Surfing Academy, one of NSB’s 

oldest and most respected surf schools, 

founded almost 40 years ago after Lane 

retired from the pro circuit. Lane’s surf camp 

programs and coaching have led participants 

to become pros themselves–some graduates 

even return to teach with Lane. He’s also a 

certified surfing judge and an artist who has 

painted thousands of surfboards and murals 

in the local community and beyond. An 

active member of the local community, he 

is especially involved with The New Smyrna 

Beach Museum of East Coast Surfing at the 

New Smyrna Beach Museum of History. 

SURFIN’ NSB 

Offering private and group lessons, Surfin’ NSB 

is owned and operated by Marcie Baldwin, an 

East Coast Surfing and a United States Surfing 

Champion. She acquired her Captain’s license 

then sailed the world on charter and racing 

boats. She also holds a BA in History from the 

University of Florida. She has been teaching 

surfing for 15 years and requires that each of 

her instructors have at least 15 years surfing 

experience. www.surfinnsb.com 

NICHOLS SURF SHOP 

New Smyrna’s oldest surf shop is Nichols, 

which opened its doors on Flagler Avenue in 

1974. Brothers Dan and Dave Nichols began 

making surfboards in the 1960s and started 

the area’s first surf school. Their offerings not 

only include surfboard making and repair, but 

surf lessons and surf camps, surf gear, beach 

rentals, and kayak and SUP eco tours. www. 

nicholssurfshop.com 

With a local surfing scene including top notch 

instructors, trendy surf shops, world-renowned 

surfing events, even a surfing exhibit, it’s easy 

to see why New Smyrna Beach is such an 

acclaimed surfing destination, and one that 

should be on every surfer’s must-visit list.

A former warehouse turned fine arts gallery, 

Arts on Douglas, was founded in 1996 and 

was originally established to showcase the 

work of Florida’s artists. It has since become 

affiliated with the Atlantic Center for the 

Arts. Today, it is home to a 3,500 square 

foot exhibition space that shows 18 exhibitions 

a year in addition to the newest experience, 

the alt_space, which features works 

from emerging and established Florida 

artists. The gallery is also equipped to 

facilitate commissions, deliver, and install 

artwork, and provide consultation services. 

The sprawling 69 acre setting for the Atlantic 

Center for the Arts features a theatre space, 

sculpture, dance, writing and painting studios, 

as well as a vibrant Artist-in-Residence 

program. The center has a stacked calendar 

of events, with everything from Literary Teas 

to Expressive Movement classes. You might 

try the Nature Sketch Club –just bring a 

sketch pad and a pencil and let artist Bethany 

Bennett guide you, or pop in and tour one of 

the many ongoing exhibits. Experiences are 

open to all, and kids will love the ACA Summer 

Art Camp offerings. Stop in at Gallery 237, 

an eclectic gift shop with a focus on original

Events 

Year-Round 

Visiting the New Smyrna Speedway is another 

way to experience a genuine adrenaline rush. 

Not only does the racetrack host a NASCAR 

event each Saturday night, but the auto area 

has everything from motorcycle races to classic 

car cruise-ins. Car aficionados will also enjoy 

perusing classic vehicles every second Saturday 

on Canal Street and spending time in Port 

Orange at the East Coast Cruisers Car Show. 



For New Smyrna Beach, the capstone for the 

year is the holiday season, when you can look 

for gifts at the Annual Flamingo Follies Holiday 

Art Show, where over 120 crafters and artisans 

set up along Flagler Avenue. It’s also the 

perfect season to gather a group of friends to 

shop and dine as you join in the festivities at 

Ladies’ Night Out. Supporting unique boutiques 

and locally owned restaurants is a wonderful 

activity to get you into the holiday spirit. 

Of course, when planning an event-centric visit 

to New Smyrna Beach, there’s plenty for you 

to do, whether you come solo, plan a trip with 

friends, or bring the family on an annual trek. 

Add activities like taking an eco-tour or learning 

how to manage the waves at surf school. 

Visit the Atlantic Center for the Arts, take in a 

show at Little Theatre, or climb the 203 steps 

at Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, where you’ll be 

rewarded with stunning views of the area. 

No matter what season you plan to visit, join the 

Flagler Avenue Wine Walk, held on the fourth 

Saturday of each month. Strolling the historic 

street is a treat, and the walk is a delightful way 

to sample different varietals while getting a true 

taste of the town. Before the event, schedule a 

sea-to-table dining experience at one of the area’s 

many restaurants for the ideal complement. 

Whether you prefer a sea-centric vacation filled 

with eyeing the relaxing sunset and experiencing 

the area’s wine scene or want an adventure-filled 

time interspersed with dining on 

freshly caught sea fare, New Smyrna Beach 

has something to offer every type of traveler.

Sustainability 

Author: Sandy Lang 

Along with serving up icy platters of oysters on 

the half-shell, local restauranteurs pass along 

the good vibes. Through an innovative local 

program, the shells of shucked oysters are 

collected and used to build up vital ocean reefs. 

Each delivery of shells is part of 

something bigger—a community-wide focus on 

sustainability in New Smyrna Beach Area. 

The “Shuck and Share” program is coordinated 

by the Marine Discovery Center in New Smyrna 

Beach to return shucked oyster shells to the 

ocean. The busy, nonprofit center also offers 

daily eco-tour boat excursions in the Indian 

River Lagoon’s North Causeway as part of 

its mission to educate about and preserve 

the aquatic biosphere. (Its myriad of marine 

scientific study and programming also includes 

shoreline restoration and water-quality projects, 

and surveys of sea grass and horseshoe crabs.) 

CARE 

EVERY OYSTER SHELL COUNTS 

Through “Shuck and Share,” area restaurants 

are able to dispose of shucked oyster shells at 

the Center, instead of adding to the trash and 

local landfills. Returned to tidal saltwater, the 

oyster shells help keep the water clean, stabilize 

shorelines and create growing communities for 

living oysters.

ECO ACTION. FOR THE BEACHES & BAYS. 

Recycling shells is just one of the ways that 

local businesses, organizations, and other 

community partners in New Smyrna Beach 

are working toward more sustainable travel 

and tourism. The coast draws us all here, 

and we want to honor and protect the natural 

beauty around us. 

A key resource is One Planet Living, an 

international organization that promotes 

long-term sustainability through easy-tograsp 

eco-friendly practices. New Smyrna 

Beach was the first city in Florida to join 

the global initiative, and the City’s guiding 

focus is sustainability—as partners join 

together to protect treasured natural surroundings 

and promote eco-friendly tourism. 

At local breweries, cafes and restaurants 

including Café Verde and Yellow Dog Eats, 

owners and crews focus on local farm ingredients, 

recycling, and paper to-go products. 

Other Sustainability Partners include the 

Hampton Inn New Smyrna Beach, just two 

blocks from the beach and boardwalk, and a 

short walk from galleries, shops, and restaurants—guests 

can park their cars and begin 

exploring. 

Joining the city as a sustainability leader in 

the One Planet Living program, the New 

Smyrna Beach Area Visitor’s Bureau 

(NSBAVB) encourages recycling and helps to 

coordinate volunteers for beach clean-ups. 

The Bureau is also a destination member of 

the Global Sustainable Tourism Council and 

Leave No Trace.

FRESHEST CATCH & NO TRACE TRAVEL 

New Smyrna Beach visitors can do their 

part by visiting local farm markets and supporting 

restaurants using local-sourced ingredients, 

saying “no” to single-use plastics, and 

choosing recyclable/reusable shopping bags. 

Guests are asked to follow “Leave No Trace” 

principles—taking home special memories, 

but leaving behind no traces beyond barefoot 

footprints on this treasured, 17-mile stretch of 

sugar-white sand beaches. 

If your trip includes fishing, a meaningful 

way to enjoy the seafood abundance without 

waste is to make your first stop off the 

dock at one of the area restaurants participating 

in the “Catch ’n’ Cook” program. 

Bring in your fish to be cooked to your 

specifications— at JB’s Fish Camp, Beacon 

Restaurant, Goodrich Seafood Restaurant 

and Oyster House, Off the Hook Raw Bar 

& Grill, and Outriggers Tiki Bar and Grille. 

Together, local participants and visitors alike 

can learn, share, and be part of a greener 

future for New Smyrna Beach and beyond. 

Every oyster, and every action counts.

Be a Responsible Visitor 

This Year in the 


The New Smyrna Beach Area Visitors Bureau 

and Leave No Trace invite you to be part 

of the responsible visitation solution this 

year. Help protect our natural environment, 

community cultures and the experience 

of others by practicing the Leave No Trace 

Seven Principles. Here’s where you can start: 

Plan Ahead and Prepare 

• Consider a midweek visit, instead of the 

weekend. The busiest times on our roads, 

beaches, and causeways are on the 

weekends when parking gets full sometimes 

as early as 9:00am. 

• Please contain all your trash and litter until 

you find an available receptacle. Everybody 

and every animal thanks you in advance. 

• Always give a lot of space to manatees, 

dolphins, sea birds and other aquatic animals. 

• Please respect every other visitor. The 

outdoor spaces in the New Smyrna Beach 

Area are for everyone. Being friendly 

and welcoming fosters a more inclusive 

experience for everyone.
