A Quick Glance at New Smyrna Beach

We took a trip to the New Smyrna Beach area a couple of weekends ago to see what the place was all about. New Smyrna is about twenty to thirty minutes south of Port Orange, and is surrounded by bodies of water. The Atlantic Ocean is to the east, the Intracoastal Waterway is to the west and Mosquito Lagoon is in between the two. This place a has such a small town feel to it. There are a bunch of boutique shops that I have to go to and check out the next time we visit. While traveling over the intracoastal, this draw bridge had us wait before we were to cross over. We thought that maybe a huge yacht was passing through.
No, it was a small sail boat with a really huge sail! We were eager to see some monstrosity of a boat, but instead this is what we saw sailing by.
After we passed over the intracoastal, we headed toward the beach. It was pretty busy because there was an art show going on at the time. There was no where to park, so we decided to keep looking around to see if we would come back for another visit. I don't know if we will go back anytime soon, but I definitely want to go back and see what the beach is all about. Maybe we'll go the next time family visits.
