Surf enthusiasts love staying in vacation rentals in New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach is a surfing haven and the laid-back Florida locale you’ve been searching for. Next time you’re planning a getaway to New Smyrna Beach (known locally as NSB), skip the traditional beachside hotel and opt for a New Smyrna Beach oceanfront condo instead from FloridaRentals.com.
When staying in a beach condo instead of hotel, you’ll have much more space and privacy, plus cost savings when booking a property for a large group. Some of our rentals even come with special amenities like a backyard pool, washer/dryer units, and bicycles. Whether you’re looking for a super-sized modern villa with an indoor pool, or a cozy beachfront bungalow, you can find it on our site.
New Smyrna Beach, Florida travel advice
Ever been to Florida’s Central Atlantic Coast? Think white sandy shorelines and charming little beach towns. You’ll find all that and more in New Smyrna. This area is rooted in local culture and that shines through in the cozy downtown area with shops, art museums, and coastal architecture galore.
Your family will enjoy discovering the hidden adventures offered here, like the drivable beach, eco-tourism, and unique history. NSB was settled way back in 1768 by a Scottish physician and 1,000 Spanish settlers who intended to grow indigo, sugarcane, and hemp. The area really took off in 1892, when the famously entrepreneurial Henry Flagler provided rail service to the town and a resort boom was born.
Climate
New Smyrna Beach has a humid subtropical climate characterized by hot, humid summers and mild, mostly dry winters. You want to talk about perfect weather? The city has recorded snowfall only three times in its 250-year history! The summers are long and hot, with frequent severe thunderstorms in the afternoon, though they disappear as quickly as they arrive.
Top activities and attractions
If you love the outdoors, and you love to surf, you won’t find a better Central Florida locale than New Smyrna Beach. Beyond surfing, the conditions are ideal for kayaking, parasailing, fishing, and more. This hip town attracts thousands of surfers every year. The beach itself is 13 miles long and you’ll never feel “cramped” by other visitors.
Historic Canal Street and Flagler Avenue are popular destinations for visitors who are looking for that unique gift or souvenir. Travelers love the shops on Canal Street that seem to transport customers back into a simpler time (try the real soda fountain at Little Drug). Whereas Flagler Avenue is a bit more lively with stores and restaurants that end, literally, right on the beach.
Named one of "America's Top Small Cities for the Arts", New Smyrna Beach is home to the Atlantic Center for the Arts, an artists-in-residence community and educational facility, the Harris House, the Little Theatre, and a gallery of fine arts, Arts on Douglas.
Want to get up close and personal with some local wildlife? Cruise around and meet some manatees and dolphins at the Marine Discovery Center.
The best restaurants and bars
You’ll work up quite an appetite exploring everything New Smyrna Beach has to offer, so take note of where you can refuel. Try the top Asian restaurant in Central Florida called AA Garden Fusion. It’s located right along Flagler Avenue and is extremely popular. Call early for reservations! In the morning, a cup of coffee and omelette at the Wake Up Cafe will start your day off right.
If you’re in the mood for casual, head to Lost Lagoon Wings & Grill where beers on tap and bar eats dot the menu. Lastly, if you’re looking for a romantic, chill spot to eat, don’t miss the outdoor patio at Third Wave Cafe where string lights set a calm mood.
For the bar scene, there’s a number of top options. SoNapa Grille features the best wines in New Smyrna, so bring your discerning palette here to try many different vintages. For another swanky wine bar, stop in to Corkscrew Bar & Grille - you can’t miss the neon sign!
Watch the big game at McKenna’s Place, a popular sports bar, or come right off the beach and grab a drink at The Breakers Restaurant.
