In a season which begs a reminder of all things for which we are thankful, The Sandpiper comes to mind. It is a beautiful place where you can gather with friends in spacious condos that can accommodate everyone. It offers open floor plans, state-of-the-art kitchens and large dining tables – just perfect for a Thanksgiving (or any) feast…a place where grand memories are easily made.

Each condo is only steps from the sugary sand of New Smyrna’s pristine beach; and if you prefer to keep your tootsies sans sand, there is a gorgeous ocean view pool area for lounging as well. Balconies with panoramic ocean views beckon and the lure to practice your putt or hone your pickleball or tennis skills is hard to ignore. 

A world of full-filled adventures is also only moments away in every direction. The Sandpiper’s New Smyrna Beach location is an easy drive to Orlando, Kennedy Space Center and historic St. Augustine and only minutes from Daytona Beach. While all that is certainly a gift to relish, the charming seaside town of New Smyrna Beach is bursting with delightful offerings, such as delicious dining in venues from romantic Italian bistros, French bakeries with pastries fresh from the oven, old fashioned creameries and tiki huts where you can watch the waves lap the shoreline while you enjoy a frozen adult refreshment.

Should you worry that you may not have enough to do, DON’T. New Smyrna Beach is also brimming with beguiling beachside shops, wine tastings, art galleries, car shows and a rich history full of the first railroads, the origin of stock car racing as well fascinating Indian heritage.
