If you are driven to have fun, consider renting a car to explore on vacation. It’s not that expensive when you consider all the fun you could be missing without a car rental. And you can rent whatever kind of vehicle meets your budget. If your family is large or if a group of friends is kicking in, an SUV may be in order, but if it is your budget that concerns you, and you don’t have a huge group to accommodate, you can opt for a more compact rental that is cheaper to rent and costs less to for gas.

Okay, now on to the good stuff! New Smyrna Beach alone offers so many great places to see and things to do. Of course, you can have a wonderful time just hanging out at the beach, getting sun and frolicking in the waves, but there is a whole other world out there, and a rental car can open the door to that world.

New Smyrna Beach Museum of History offers both walking and boat tours, New Smyrna Speedway is a fun Saturday evening at the races. If you are a history buff, there are the Canal Street Historic District and Sugar Mill Ruins to explore. Ponce Inlet is just 3.7 miles away and offers the Marine Science Center with interactive activities and eco-tours and the lighthouse with scenic, panoramic views. Then, this country’s most famous theme parks, Kennedy Space Center, Daytona International Speedway, and beautiful, historic St. Augustine are all just a convenient drive away.

And then, if you are staying at Sandpiper Condominiums in New Smyrna Beach, you can head back to your awesome, spacious, comfortable, ocean view accommodations just steps from the beach with a private balcony and a host of resort-style amenities.
