Kid-Friendly Activities in NSB

A beach vacation with children may not be relaxing, but it is always memorable and fun! New Smyrna Beach is a family-friendly destination ideal for those traveling with kids of all ages. From the fresh air and sunshine to the cold salty waves, there is no Florida destination better for kids to play than NSB. Below weâve compiled our favorite beach activities for younger and older children. Whether you are 4 or 44 years old, youâll find NSBâs kid-friendly activities fun regardless of age.

NSB Activities for Kids Ages 1 â" 5

Small children are rarely bored but always busy! Vacationing with an activity list is the best way to direct their curiosity in the right direction (and out of trouble).

Sand Toys

Beach pails and shovels are obvious essentials when planning a beach day with toddlers. What is less obvious though is that you donât need to bring or purchase any sand toy during your New Smyrna Beach stay. Sandy Andyâs is a NSB rental company that will deliver a bag of sand toys right to your vacation rentalâs door. We also recommend renting a beach play pen for little ones who tend to wander!

Seashell Hunt

Channel your childâs built-up energy into hunting for seashells on the beach. While your little one may think it a fun game, you can transform it into an educational experience by working on sorting, categorization, and motor skills. Download this shell scavenger list, and you will find your kidsâ attention held a little longer than usual.

Beach Wagon Rides

Beach wagon rides are the perfect NSB activity to do before naptime. Nestle your toddler in with a towel and snack and enjoy a peaceful stroll on the shore with the wagon in tow. We recommend walking NSBâs no-drive shore to ensure a safe experience for your kids. Sandy Andyâs offers standard beach wagons and even a canopy wagon to keep your little one out of the Florida sun.

Ice Cream Shops

Ice cream has no age limits, but itâll certainly make you the popular parent with the 5 and under crowd. Nothing makes the day run smoother than the promise of ice cream as a reward. Look no further for a tasty scoop than New Smyrna Beach; thereâs quite a few popular shops in town. Treats on the Beach is conveniently located on Flagler Avenue, Frozen Gold is a long-standing staple, and Izzyâs Island has a great outdoor space to kick back and enjoy your cone.
