The New Smyrna Beach Area offers a fun-filled getaway for the whole family for Easter. With the sun shining over the crystal clear water, loads of activities for all ages, and tasty dining options, from casual to fancy, pack up the kids and hop on down!
Where to Stay
There is an array of accommodations in the New Smyrna Beach Area, from intimate B&Bs to modern hotels with all the amenities. The Nightswan Intercoastal Bed and Breakfast offers breathtaking views and a cozy environment from which to explore nearby attractions or just kick back and relax. The rooms are spread over three houses on the property, with each location featuring a guest kitchen so visitors can bring their dinner home to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere. Some rooms are pet-friendly, so feel free to bring the whole family for this Easter trip.
At the Hampton Inn New Smyrna Beach, guests can leave their car behind and walk to all the exciting shops and restaurants along bustling Flagler Avenue. It’s just a few steps from the beach, where visitors can spread their towels on the beach and listen to the sounds of waves. The hotel features a fitness center and outdoor saltwater pool, as well as a free hot breakfast. The spacious rooms and suites are perfect for families looking to celebrate the holiday in a beautiful setting.
For families seeking a larger space to gather, check out the rentals managed by Great Ocean Condos and Homes at Seascape Towers. Guests can partake in multiple activities, such as surf fishing, windsurfing, and sailing, or just sit back and unwind on the balcony with the soothing sound of the ocean. With an onsite sauna, underground parking, heated pool, and in-unit laundry, guests can truly make this condo their home away from home this Easter.
Where to Eat
There are plenty of dining choices in the New Smyrna Beach Area, sure to suit even the pickiest eaters. For fresh, homemade Mexican fare, La Fiesta is the place. From a refreshing ceviche, perfect for a warm, sunny afternoon, to the hearty Mar y Tierra, with carne asada, lime-marinated shrimp, and cilantro rice, everyone is sure not to walk away hungry from this restaurant.
For those who prefer pizza and Italian cuisine, Caffe Vesuvio is worth a try. This casual spot serves up traditional dishes—think Caprese salad, lasagna, and veal marsala—but customers can also opt for simpler meals, like pizza and calzones.
For a more upscale experience, dine at The Baker’s Table, run by husband and wife chefs, Jaime and Jeanette Quintana. Start with some local oysters or a cheese plate before enjoying the fresh catch of the day or savory braised short ribs with goat cheese grits. Enjoy the meal al fresco on their covered patio or inside in the welcoming dining room.
What to Do
What better way to celebrate a family Easter gathering than to have fun together in a beautiful environment? Whether one is an old pro or a newbie on the water, spending an afternoon watching the playful dolphins from a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) is a great idea. Paddleboard New Smyrna Beach offers rentals for those who wish to go out on their own, or they can sign up for one of their tours. It’s sure to be an adventure a family will remember.
Another way to get out on the water and learn about the area’s wildlife is through the Marine Discovery Center. Enjoy a relaxing pontoon tour of the Indian River Lagoon, taking in the lush marine environment while a certified Florida Master Naturalist explains the workings of this abundant ecosystem. Or for a more active outing, join a narrated kayak excursion of this “cradle of the ocean,” complete with paddling instruction for those new to kayaking.
No Easter is complete without some candy! Family-owned Zeno’s Broadside Sweet Shop has everyone covered. Whether the taste is for chewy taffy, crunchy brittle, or creamy fudge, it can be found here. Just be warned: it’s hard to stop with just one piece.
For families with kids that are looking for a way to burn off some of their youngsters’ pent-up sugar energy, stop into Sky Zone. This trampoline park is sure to do the trick. With areas for free jumping, Skyslam basketball, a ninja warrior course, and a foam pit, families will be looking forward to a quiet night as the kids fall asleep early, dreaming of the heights they bounced to.
After a visit filled with adventure and family time, visitors may find themselves planning a return trip for the following year to revel in all that the New Smyrna Beach Area has to offer.
