Publix Super Market at New Smyrna Beach Regional Shopping Center
1930 FL-44 Very nice, full service grocery store. Includes Deli, Pharmacy, Bakery and of course the grocery and some beach equipment as well!
Limited selection, but has all the basics, not as nice or with as much selection as Publix, but will do if you need to pick up something quickly and not have to drive further to get just a few items.

There is an entrance fee (its a National Park) but plenty of open spaces and wildlife, not to mention the beach. Be aware there are some unofficial "clothing optional" areas of the park , so be aware of that fact before you visit!

The food and the service is excellent. They have Spanish and Argentinian dishes on the menu. They have two locations and both are great! This one is beachside and the other is on the mainland side of the N Causeway. Try the Latin Stack or Tango Omelet for breakfast and the Panko Chicken Spinach & Cheddar sandwich for lunch (to go a little overboard ask for a side of the aioli to dip the fries in)! This place is simply wonderful.

Right on the ocean, sit at the bar along the windows and you are eating while looking at the sand and listening to the surf. They have great burgers and drinks of all kinds! Very casual, but the views can't be beat!

The decor and the music is 50s themed. The food is scratch made and takes a bit longer to arrive at the table, but when it does you won’t be disappointed! My favorite is the AM Tacos and what I call the super grits (cheese, bacon and green onions on top). The service is very consistent and dependable. They serve Breakfast and Lunch 7 days a week, but on Tuesday they serve dinner as well. Try it, you won’t regret it.

They have LOTS of beer and all kinds. The food and service are great and its a large place with indoor and outdoor seating and bars! Try their version of a Reuben, its made with a thick, fried piece of fish and it is SO good! The beer mac and cheese is a favorite too.
