New Smyrna Beach, Florida

New Smyrna Beach, Florida

After spending two days at the Sugar Mill Ruins RV park in New Smyrna Beach, Florida we booked our stay through March, 2014.  We love the town of New Smyrna and the RV park.  We've had some requests for photos of our trailer so folks can visualize where we are living.  Here we are getting set up in our camping spot.  We will be moving to a bigger spot in January.  

Here is a view from under our awning - we just purchased the pretty awning lights. 

We have plenty of room inside the trailer. 

We were thrilled to have two recliners

You can see a bit of the bedroom in the background.  We have a queen-size bed in a slide-out and a nice sized closet and dresser. 

The trailer park is filled with mostly retirees from the northeast US and Canada.  They have a nice pool, store and tiki bar.  

There are activities for residents every day and pot-luck dinners about once a week.  Everyone we have met so far is very nice and friendly. 

We love the town of New Smyrna Beach.  It is small town right on the beach.  We can ride our bikes everywhere.  About four days a week we take about a six mile round trip ride to the coffee shop and back.  A couple of days every week we ride about twelve miles roundtrip to the beach and back.  It is a beautiful ride over the causeway to the beach.  Here is the view of town from the causeway that goes over the intercoastal waterway.   

New Smyrna Beach seems to have some kind of festival or activity every weekend.  Last weekend we watched the Christmas Boat Parade.  It was a lot of fun.

We are about 45 minutes from NASA and have now seen two rocket launches. We watched our first rocket launch from a park with a nice pier out over the water.  We got to watch manatees swimming under the pier while waiting for the launch.
