Nestled next to Florida’s Central Atlantic Coast is New Smyrna Beach, one of Florida’s most undiscovered gems. This charming surf town is known for its thriving art scene, pristine white sand beaches, and laid-back coastal vibes, while the surrounding area has many opportunities for extreme sports and outdoor adventure.
It also happens to be one of the best places to go with your pet, as there are plenty of outside spaces for them to explore. Besides spending a lazy day on the beach, you can also visit the Smyrna Dunes Park, Turtle Mound National Historic Site, and Flagler Avenue Park.
After a day of adventure, you and your pet can retreat back to one of these pet-friendly vacation homes. Some of them have fully-fenced in back yards, so you can let your best friend run free without worry. Some of them also come with dog beds and treats, so your pet can also enjoy their relaxing escape away from home. If you’re planning on spending a few days in New Smyrna Beach with your pet, make sure to check out one of these awesome vacation rentals.
