What to Expect

Find the local gems in New Smyrna Beach with insider recommendations from the area's best chefs and bartenders.

New Smyrna Beach, a.k.a. NSB, is your quintessential laid-back, coastal Florida town. Drive down Flagler Avenue, the main drag, passed the shuffleboard courts, surf shops, and pastel-colored beach bars and you’ll dead end at the Atlantic Ocean. Keep going because you can still drive your car on the beach here for a $10 fee. It’s like you’ve stepped into 1965.
