Back in the 1960s, when I was a young kid, my family vacationed all over Florida. One of my strongest and most favored memories was Anastasia State Park on the beach near St. Augustine. The beach there was so beautiful and had such a tropical feel to it due it having many palm trees in the dune areas. I don't know if it still has the same charm but if it does, it could warrant a barefoot visit.
I have been there brother you must've missed it. Stayed overnight in my RV and did a livestream and ebike ride on the beach. I'll never forget it. You should check out my Playlists of the entire RV roadtrip. It's one of my favorite things I've ever done on TH-cam. Here's the link to one of the videos if you're interested. Thanks Robert! th-cam.com/video/4R4oHATZkcA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks barefoot. I did watch that video, but I guess the palm trees in the dunes are likely gone now. Perhaps lost to a hurricane. I was hoping maybe you just missed that particular area of the park. As a side note: As valued as your videos are to many of us northerners with fond memories of Florida from times past, your videos could become especially valued in the future for those making memories now. And being that there are so many of us, there's probably no place you can visit that will not stir someone's interest.
So kind Robert, thank you brother! I thought that after they imploded the Deauville in Miami. What I saw was obviously the skeletal remains of a bygone era but now it's complete rubble.
Love this video, we had everything, car ride, street walk, beach walk and your lovely wife Svetlana, loved that B & B that lady did a wonderful job with that building, big fan of old style and the decoration, keep doing these great videos Terry ❤😊
We really enjoyed this!! Smyrna, which we never heard of before, could very well be a destination for my wife and I. Thank you so much Terry & Svetlana!
I love New Smyrna Beach Terry ! One of my favorite’s We used to park on the beach below (Chases on the Beach)! Awesome place! A little over a hr driving from Kissimmee!♥️
This is a very nicely done video. I have been watching many of these coastal Florida beach videos and this is a very informative one and makes you feel like you are walking there with him. A very nice couple and I appreciate getting a nice look at NSB from their perspective. Have a brother and family that live there. I live in CA.
enjoyed. Florida has so many hidden gems. the old world feel seeing all the small business . my jeep would love that beach. looks better than Daytona .
Thank you Bare, this is fabulous. My kind of beach town. Sadly these places are becoming so rare. A lot of beach towns think that if they tear down all the old, smooth all the rough edges and get some big hotels that they will improve themselves as tourist destinations. Those ones are indistinguishable from each other. This place is a real and rare gem. I hope that they know it. Good luck to the guys at the Patio Cafe and all the local characters and business owners. I would definitely love to visit NSB!
Thanks for doing the video. I live in Lake Worth. I've been there almost 18 years. I am meeting my son up here. We are going camping together. He's 23 and lives with his sister in Palm Coast. This video gives me some guidance on where to go.
Just got back from there yesterday, great town to vacation at. Stayed at a very clean ocean facing condo on B & B for $108 a night. It's best to go there when the kids are back in school because we mostly had the condo to ourselves. Used to stay in Daytona Shores for years but New Smyrna has a much better vibe going on. Great video!
This is where Central Floridians go to avoid the busier, tourist areas, although tourists are always welcome! A quiet beach community with lots of great local bars and restaurants. A favorite for Orlando residents because it is only about an hour away. We love to go there for an afternoon to take a walk on the beach and have lunch on Flagler Avenue. Mother's Day, 4th of July, and Memorial Day are great times to visit. Yes, it is called the "shark attack capital" but don't let that scare you away. Still very few actual attacks and they are almost always minor and accidental. The sharks aren't there for the people. They are there for the fish. We love this little town so much that we had our son's Senior HS photos taken there.
@@BarefootVlogger No problem! You gained a new follower today. Your video on the USS Indiana was fantastic. One day, you need to go to Honolulu to do the USS Missouri. The Arizona Memorial is great but they wouldn't allow blogging unless you received special permission, but the Missouri is an historic Battleship from World War 2 where the Japanese surrendered. Also, it was featured in many movies. Great job, man!
You're right. The first time I ever saw the Arizona Memorial of all places was during an episode of the Brady Bunch. Remember that? Thanks for joining me Steve!
love the cars on the beach. For years in California I had to drag what I had from the parking area to the beach and this just makes it so much easier. And when it rains I could just jump in my car right? This 4th of July I may be just doing this...driving on the beach in Oregon. I'll post pictures on facebook if we can make it happen.
Love your wife's HAT, very cool and love the job you did on showing us this great place. Reminds us of Hawaii only it's actually better than Hawaii. :) We have to visit it.
Just saw the 2nd video!! We were there a few short years ago 2020! Stayed at Spring Hill Suites. Great views of another very underrated area on the east coast of Florida! Gina and I really enjoyed the walk and the views and the air bnb. So nice to know!! Onward and Upward good buddy!!
You guys know all the good spots! You're gonna hit the ground running when you get down here. You'll have to watch your Reds on the baseball package but nothing wrong with that! lol Thanks brother, Onward and Upward!!
So nice the town of west Smyrna Beach. Barefoot you must go back sometime soon and stay. At the B&B would be interesting to see the dunes. Anyways I loved it. ❤😊
@@BarefootVlogger It won't be long before the Ferris wheel will be at the largest fair on the Rhine in Düsseldorf this month with well over 300 food and play booths, beer tents and carousels, etc. 10 days of fair in a row! There have a webcam
This is vid 3 for me. I like your channel. You’re obv a south Fla kid. It’s like you’re visiting another country. It’s cool man but there’s a whole state outside of 305 954 and that’s the majority of the state geographically

Beautiful town! Thank you and the lovely Svetlana for the tour. I'd love to live in NSB. Maybe someday. Onward and upward!
Thanks Scott! I don't blame you. It's got a little bit of everything and definitely retains that old world charm. Onward and Upward brother!

Thanks Gerry, I appreciate the kind words my friend!
My wife and I spent 12 days here a while back and we truly loved it ..
Phil I always think of you when I think of NSB brother you've been talking about it for years. You were so right brother, thanks!
enjoyed. Florida has so many hidden gems. the old world feel seeing all the small business . my jeep would love that beach. looks better than Daytona .
I personally preferred this over Daytona hands down. Thanks Betty!

Great idea Ray! Drive careful brother. Only thing I can drive on the beach down here is the ebike. I'm still getting sand out of it lol
Love your wife's HAT, very cool and love the job you did on showing us this great place. Reminds us of Hawaii only it's actually better than Hawaii. :) We have to visit it.
Haha thanks Peter! I need me a hat like that lol. Hawaii is awesome too
Reminds me of Seal Beach, laid back beach town. Seems like the locals gravitate to, to avoid the more touristy areas
New Smyrna was a hidden gem 15 years ago..
Just saw the 2nd video!! We were there a few short years ago 2020! Stayed at Spring Hill Suites. Great views of another very underrated area on the east coast of Florida! Gina and I really enjoyed the walk and the views and the air bnb. So nice to know!! Onward and Upward good buddy!!
You guys know all the good spots! You're gonna hit the ground running when you get down here. You'll have to watch your Reds on the baseball package but nothing wrong with that! lol Thanks brother, Onward and Upward!!
@@BarefootVlogger amen! How bout my Reds? Love it!! Josh bought me for Father’s Day the new black jersey ! I love it!!
Awesome! The Big Red Machine lives again!
Looks amazing I’ve never been there
It's worth a visit for sure Anthony
@@BarefootVlogger I definitely will someday
So nice the town of west Smyrna Beach. Barefoot you must go back sometime soon and stay. At the B&B would be interesting to see the dunes. Anyways I loved it. ❤😊
Good call Allan! I like that idea brother thanks
Your wife is so gorgeous. You two are THE VIBE ❤
What am I, chopped liver? lol Thanks Janine!!
Nice Place , greetings from the Nr.1 Fashion Town in Germany : Düsseldorf

You got that right Kw! It's great having all these wonderful places right in the backyard. Thanks my friend!
You go in the water...Shark in the water...Farewell and Adieu to you fine Spanish ladies

Hi Terry
Hey Johnny! Thanks for watching brother

My ex fiancé is from jersey. Gotta love jersey guys 😂🥰🫣💯🤩
I'll bet he's sorry now! Next time Brooklyn! 😂
40 years ago New Smyrna was quite quaint, now it's not.

New Smyrna Beach is the shark attack capital of America.
