Things To Do
One Daytona
Whether you're looking for a good place for drinks, shopping or catching a movie, One Daytona is one of Daytona Beach's newest, and most popular, areas to spend time in!
Tanger Outlets Daytona Beach
Located right off of I-95, Tanger Outlets is full of dozens of shops and restaurants! Perfect for those end of the year sales that will be happening right around the wedding! :)
Angell & Phelps Chocolate Factory -- free self guided tour!
Located in the historic Riverfront Shops in downtown Daytona Beach, Angell & Phelps Chocolates has been a Daytona Beach tradition since 1925. Take a self-guided tour anytime during regular operating hours and enjoy a free sample! You’ll be amazed at the selection of unique chocolates and other confectionary treats.
Dunlawton Sugar Mill Gardens
Set amid 12 acres of lush botanical gardens stands the remains of an English sugar mill. The gardens were once home to the 1940s theme park, Bongoland. Life-size dinosaur statues remain in the tropical setting and are still a favorite with children. The gardens also house a human sundial. The facility is open daily from dawn to dusk, and admission is free. Oh and Fun Fact -- Faith's mom and stepdad actually got married here in 2012!
Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse & Museum
At nearly 180 feet, the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse towers over the Florida coast and is the tallest of all the state’s lighthouses. The lighthouse has a fascinating history that dates back nearly two centuries. Though there were times when it ran out of the oil used to generate light and was structurally weakened by rough surf and erosion, it has stood the test of time. Now, the lighthouse has been lovingly restored by a local preservation society. It’s even possible to scale the 200 stairs to the top for unobstructed views of both land and sea.
The Preserve At Turnbull Bay - Golf Course
For the golfers among our wedding guests -- The Preserve at Turnbull Bay Golf Course is one of New Smyrna Beach’s most popular courses. At just 6,400 yards, it is slightly shorter than many of its contemporaries, making it perfect for those interested in getting in a world-class round without dedicating four or five hours to it. The par-72 course’s 18 holes lead through a tranquil nature preserve.
The Hub on Canal
Downtown New Smyrna Beach is a unique mix of historic charm and contemporary culture that aren’t often found together, and the Hub on Canal Street is ground-zero for those who’d like to enjoy them both. Shaded by majestic palms and historic buildings, Canal Street is full of shops, galleries, and small artist’s studios; it’s perfect for visitors looking to take an afternoon stroll or pick up a one of a kind piece to remind them of their trip. Nearly all the works you’ll see are original pieces created by local artists. The Hub on Canal Street hosts a number of shows and festivals throughout the year, most of which are in the cooler winter months. **located near our Welcome Happy Hour reception location!!**
Marine Discovery Center
Located on Barracuda Boulevard in New Smyrna Beach, the Marine Discovery Center isn’t just another look-but-don’t-touch facility. In fact, for those interested in getting a hands-on experience relating to the area’s unique animals and habitat, there’s no better place to do it. Featuring thousands of species of local plants and animals that live in the area’s rivers, sea, and marshlands, the center is really part zoo, part aquarium, and part museum. It’s one of those attractions that shouldn’t be passed up, especially by those traveling with children. Staff-led eco-tours are available, as are a variety of interactive exhibits and activities, so plan on spending more than just an hour.
