We've been thinking about going down to New Smyrna, but I don't feel like swimming with the sharks there, Lol! Great video and love the selection of places to visit. Thanks for sharing! ~ London
My favorite beach! The Norwood Treehouse is great, great food! Lots of great restaurants/bars. Love Canal Street & antiques! Nicest local people there too! The best part is paying $20 to park right on the beach, just park, open the back and take everything out that you need to spend the day on the beach! $20 parking to drag everything a ways to the beach or same cost to drive right on the beach....I'll take that everytime for a day trip!
The waves are a little more on the East Coast Atlantic side. If you can make it over to the West Coast Gulf side, the water is a lot calmer. The water on the East Coast inlet area is calm. Smyrna Dunes. Beautiful and calm!
Also, anyone that grew up here has no idea why they call it the 'Old Fort's as it is quite well known that it was anything but a fort-as to what it actually was, the historians can't decide.....
We heard a few things. It was a house or fort, according to everyone we talked to. There must not be a lot of saved history. It was really neat to check out and walk across. Have a good New Year! 🙂
This is what I found online about the naming of the town. "The New Smyrna colony was named for the birthplace of Andrew Turnbull's wife, Gracia Maria Rubini, who was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, in 1736. Said to be of Greek descent, Gracia was educated in Paris where she met Turnbull who was there studying medicine."
I actually think we are the shark ote capital of the world or at the very least the us-but Otis more die to the person to shark ratio rather then an obscene amount of sharks. Not sure that this matters much to others, but our shark bites are generally not lethal, either lol
JBs fish camp and frozen gold are the places to not miss!
I just looked them up. Yum! 🙂 Thanks for the suggestion!
Nice selection of places to go. Haha, those Gophers got busy 😅

I am trying to get acquainted to my new hometown. I have recently bought a house there but waiting to move.
New Smyrna is such a nice area! There are lots of restaurants and things to do. Good luck with the move!
@@FloridaandBeyond thanks a lot.
Cute turtles❤
I will definitely have hard times with the huge waves once I try to swim here.
The waves are a little more on the East Coast Atlantic side. If you can make it over to the West Coast Gulf side, the water is a lot calmer. The water on the East Coast inlet area is calm. Smyrna Dunes. Beautiful and calm!
@@FloridaandBeyond I know probably that’s why properties in the West Coast Gulf Side are more expensive…
We wiil go in may
Awesome! Have fun!

Why Smyrna? Are there Greek origin Americans populated in this town?
This is what I found online about the naming of the town. "The New Smyrna colony was named for the birthplace of Andrew Turnbull's wife, Gracia Maria Rubini, who was born in Smyrna, Asia Minor, in 1736. Said to be of Greek descent, Gracia was educated in Paris where she met Turnbull who was there studying medicine."
@@FloridaandBeyond I see. The present name is İzmir though. The third megatown of Turkey on the Aegean coast.

I am not sure why it says shark bite capital of the world. I assume it has to do with all the surf there. 🙂
And man did it spike your blood sugar, way up. No breads.
I'm sorry, am I missing something?
I know Americans serve huge portions…
Always nice to have leftover lol. Some meals could be broken down into 3 😁
@@FloridaandBeyond that’s why better to order one and share it as I have a good appetite and can’t limit myself leaving it as a leftover.
