&lt;P class=body style="MARGIN:0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2&gt;The star attraction in New Smyrna Beach is its 13 miles stretch of white sandy beaches. Sunbathing, swimming, bicycling, strolling or doing nothing at all is the choice of most visitors. But the beach is also well known to surfers, offering some of the finest wave action on the Eastern Seaboard, treasure hunters in search of rare coins and jewelry and anglers who say surf fishing is the only way to go.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;If you are looking for a special, inexpensive souvenir, why not collect any number of seashells to forever remember your visit to New Smyrna Beach - Florida's Best Beach.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;img src="http://venturaresorts.com/Vacations/aggbug.aspx?PostID=34" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Cheryl</name><uri>http://venturaresorts.com/Vacations/members/Cheryl.aspx</uri></author></entry><entry><title>Cocoa Beach has 6 Miles of Beach and The Shuttle!

&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;J&lt;FONT size=2&gt;ust six miles long, and mostly less than one mile wide, Cocoa Beach is truly a unique place! Where else can you choose between watching a space launch from the beach or precious animal species in their natural habitat? You can choose between a swim in the ocean, or a quiet kayak exploration off the Banana River islands, from our river shore? Play a round of golf at our 27-holes golf course, surf cast from the beach for dinner, or just enjoy a day at the beach where you will likely see dolphins at play or be lucky enough to see an occasional whale in migration. Widely known as the surfing capitol of the East Coast, Cocoa Beach is the hometown of surfing champions.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P align=justify&gt;&lt;FONT face="Trebuchet MS" size=2&gt;The primary attraction to Cocoa Beach is the weather. With its coastal location and positioned where two climatic zones (sub-tropic and temperate) meet, our weather usually avoids extremes. This unique location attracts wildlife indigenous to both climatic zones, as well as coastal and migratory species. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face="Trebuchet MS"&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;img src="http://venturaresorts.com/Vacations/aggbug.aspx?PostID=27" width="1" height="1"&gt;</content><author><name>Cheryl</name><uri>http://venturaresorts.com/Vacations/members/Cheryl.aspx</uri></author></entry></feed>
