Visiting New Smyrna Beach

Steps from New Smyrna Beach hotels, miles of fine white sand beckon for you to make your daydreams a reality. Lay down a towel, kick off your flip-flops, and do nothing but luxuriate in the sensation of the sun warming your skin and the rhythmic, hypnotizing crash and roll of the waves. When it's time to leave the beach, amble over to Old Fort Park, the site of a ruined stone structure with mysterious origins. Explore the geometric stone walls, some waist-high, some towering over your head, and look for clues as to its original purpose. Some historians argue it's the unfinished mansion of a colonist; others that it was a shipping warehouse or a church. Perhaps you'll agree with the experts that it was a Spanish fort, predating the one at nearby St. Augustine. If this were true, New Smyrna Beach would steal the title of oldest city in the nation. Or perhaps you believe the truth is best left a mystery, so that you can delight in wondering. Ready for a new Florida destination with a rich history?
