New Smyrna Beach (better known to locals as NSB) has a laidback, funky vibe. Read all about how to live the beach lifestyle in a full feature published by Southern Living Magazine.
โIf you canโt have fun in New Smyrna Beach, thereโs a very good chance that youโre a mountain person. Gidget would love this surfโs-up little burg, but you can easily choose how much or how little beach time you want. Stay right in the thick of things on the beachfront, or opt for a hotel or a BYOB (bring your own boat) property on the Indian River, where you can enjoy a serene stay and take a short drive to the big surf whenever you like. Either way, youโll discover a sandy little town thatโs so chill itโs practically napping in a hammock, yet itโs also as lively as all get-out. And it has a sense of humor. Thereโs even a historic district a short drive from all the beach action. How one town manages to deliver all that is anybodyโs guess, so instead of trying to figure it out, just enjoy it.โ
