Blank at MM846 Formerly Municipal Marina
by grandmaR
This marina was COMPLETELY wiped out by the 2004 hurricanes. There is NOTHING there anymore. I don't know what the boats that were there will do now.
(This marina had two transient slips - first come first serve, and there was no dockmaster or persons at the marina to help you tie up or answer the phone or whatever. One of the transient spots was the face dock which you could see from the ICW. The payment was on the honor system - you put your money in an envelope and dropped it into the slot. Price when we were there was 75 cents a foot with electricity included. We also bought ice.)
The Original Overhead Door of Daytona Beach
by grandmaR
I took this photo as we drove into New Smyrna. It seemed to be an early style building. It is actually Dunn Lumber, which has the Original Overhead Door of Daytona Beach and has been "Serving Volusia, Seminole, Orange, and Flagler Counties with building material needs since 1905.

susie margaret and new smyrna beach, florida, USA
by susiemargare
hi, thanks for visiting!
new smyrna beach is a lovely town with many beaches, good shopping, and some interesting places nearby.
on my most recent trip (april, 2005), i saw many houses and accommodations still being repaired from the hurricanes of summer, 2004. however, it did not seem difficult to find places to stay (i saw lots of "vacancy" signs). there is plenty of beach space available when the tide is out.
one really nice thing about volusia county (where new smyrna beach is located) is that there is public beach access at multiple places; these are well marked with signs on south atlantic avenue.
i stayed on what they call the "island" side rather than the "mainland." there are two bridges to get from the "mainland" to the "island" side, and going back and forth is very easy.
to get to new smyrna beach, you can fly to orlando (60 miles away) or daytona beach (20 miles away). if you are driving from ORLANDO, avoid I-4 at all costs. it is crowded, slow, and frustrating, despite its direct appearance on a map. see two alternative routes in "transportation" tips.
so you have a sense of my perspective, i am a 59-year-old single white woman.
it is perfectly all right to e-mail me at VT or at "susiemargaret@comcast.net"
