My perfect Saturday morning in New Smyrna Beach

New Smyrna Beach is known for it's beautiful, clean, white sand beaches but there are other things to do on a beautiful Saturday morning before you head to the beach. We like to start by biking over the North Causeway Bridge (stopping at the SunTrust ATM on the way) to the Farmer's Market held each Saturday morning in downtown NSB. We bring our reusable coffee cups to KrazyCat Coffee for an iced coffee (for me) and a hot coffee (for Ryan)...we also buy our organic coffee beans from them... and then go to the tent next to them for a bagel, cinnamon bun, or whatever pastry they have available that day.

Sitting in the park next to the Farmer's Market while we eat our breakfast is an awesomely peaceful way to start the weekend. We usually make a few friends (4 legged and human) before moving on to the farmer's tents like Green Flamingo Organics and the Barefoot Farmer.

With all of the new businesses opening in downtown NSB, the morning is not yet over! Today we checked out the UCC Thrift Store on Washington, the new olive oil store The Galley, and the brand spanking new NSB Surfing Museum. You can taste the olive oils and balsamic vinegars at The Galley - I highly recommend the Tuscan Herb olive oil! On the way home we also stopped at the CorMeth Boutique Thrift Store and picked up some sweet cloth napkins and old fashioned champagne glasses for $8!

We noticed that Maloney's is now Yellow Dog Eats (they have a restaurant in Windermere too), there is a new beer place coming and the NSB Brewery is still going strong. With these new businesses downtown and all of the great new places on Flagler Ave, it is a great time to live in and visit NSB. We feel really lucky that we arrived just in time to participate in the sort of Renaissance period of NSB :)
