Canal Street hosts a monthly art, wine and craft beer stroll on the first Saturday of every month; the third weekend of each month on Flagler Ave. These activities combined with the city’s outdoor recreation opportunities have resulted in New Smyrna Beach being named as one of the Top 20 Beach Towns in the World by National Geographic.
Surf Town & Watersports
This alone would be enough to draw anyone to this charming community. However, New Smyrna Beach has also been named one of the Top 10 American Surf Towns by Surfer Magazine, with two surf schools and eleven surf shops. Surfing is by no means the only water sport popular in the area.

There are no less than eight fishing charters, whose services range from deep sea, shallow flats, freshwater or just observing the bottle nose dolphins and West Indian manatees in their natural habitat. New Smyrna Beach offers a night kayak in Mosquito Lagoon where the water glows with the movement of the paddle. The light is produced when movement disturbs living organisms in the water producing a phenomenon known as bioluminescence. This adventure needs to be added to everyone’s bucket list. The trip would not be complete without stopping by the Marine Discovery Center whose master guides lead eco-tours on pontoons or kayaks through the backwater lagoons.
