Help finding our ideal Florida beach town
I’m hoping I can get some recommendations for a spot for my family’s April spring break this year. We’re looking to rent a house or condo on the beach in a relaxed, laid back beach town. We’re open to either coast, but thinking the Atlantic coast may be preferable because I have two teenagers who love to surf. Aside from a clean, pretty beach with soft sand we’d love some sort of little “down town” with some casual local restaurants, cute local shops, market, ice cream shops, surf shops, place to rent bikes for the week, etc. Hoping to avoid big box stores, high rise hotels, and chain restaurants. I’ve been to Florida many times to take the kids to Disney but now we’d like to find our ideal Florida destination to chill out at the beach. Any advice to help in my search would be so appreciated!

New Smyrna Beach checks all your boxes. We even have a great French bakery. Downtown Flagler ave is perfect. Very much a surfing spot and the restaurants are very good. No big box stores once you cross the causeway. Walmart is on the other side of 95. You will see a publix grocery and an outback but everything else is local.

I live a bit south of NSB but my vet, doctor etc are all there. We wish we could afford a house on beachside! Best beach and the downtown area is so nice. Canal st across the bridge is nice also. You can get to Canaveral seashore also if you want a very peaceful beach. Great surfing and clean beach.
