Swimming, surfing, exploring the interacoastal or discovering the area's great history, there's something for all interests. If you fancy boating or fishing, New Smyrna Beach is an ideal spot for some of the best deep sea fishing. If you are not a Florida native then you will absolutely enjoy the wildlife. Train your eye to find the Egrets and Herons and you will have a lot to keep you busy! Looking for the cafes and shops-no worries, New Smyrna has losts of character and charm and will without fail provide a great environment for leisure and play at the end of your beach day. Just a short trip down the beach from Daytona, this is a great place to get away from the sometimes over crowded events of that area.

From Deep sea charters going out daily to the back water areas of Mosquito Lagoon and Ponce Inlet, there are record setting fish in these waters. With a huge varity of fish readily available, bring your boat, grab your rod or book a charter and you won't be disappointed.

Loads of Activities for the whole family - great beaches, awesome surfing (voted one of Americas best surf towns), eco tours, kayaking, spas, golf, tennis, river cruises, parks and many historical sites.
