Laid-back Adventures Await
The arts have a permanent home in the New Smyrna Beach Area. The city has the distinction of being included in the book, “The 100 Best Small Art Towns in America: Where to Discover Creative Communities, Fresh Air, and Affordable Living” by John Villani.
Vacation
No need to leave a man's best friend behind. Pooches can enjoy the beach too, and you are certain to find the best pet-friendly stays, restaurants, and woof-ready activities in the NSB Area.
See the gentle Florida manatee, enjoy the thrills of racing, or watch locals perform plays at the theater. You can also head to Sugar Mill Ruins to explore unique 17-acre historic site containing the ruins of the coquina sugar factory that was raided during a war between the Seminole Indians and the United States.
Shop along historic Canal Street and find a unique gift for that hard-to-please friend. Stroll the five blocks from the river to the ocean along charming and historic Flagler Avenue to shop the unique galleries and boutiques.
Year-round, 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.

Start your day with an early morning walk on the beach or join a glorious sunrise yoga class to stretch your body and clear your mind. Enjoy a deliciously healthy breakfast at an outdoor café before a relaxing day at one of the NSB Area's luxurious spas.
