JB's Fish Camp, New Smyrna Beach, FL

JB's Fish Camp
859 Pompano Avenue
New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169
386-427-5747
I loved the rustic look and feel of JB's Fish Camp. Their Oyster Sandwich with fries for $7.50 was piled high with succulent fried oysters. These are the kind of oysters that oyster lovers dream about. I can only imagine that the rest of the seafood was equally divine. This restaurant is open from 11:30 AM to 9:30 PM daily. There is live entertainment on Saturday and Sundays during the summer season, weather permitting. If you love seafood, a laid back atmosphere and great music with your beer, then you will love JB's Fish Camp. I can't wait to go back. http://www.jbsfishcamp.com/

Come Fairies,
take me out of this dull world,for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame!

My Travel Advisor Pages

One of the most interesting parts of my life is that I travel as often as I am able. I have been to: Iceland, Scotland, France, England, Wales, Ireland, England, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, the Bahamas, and all over the United States.

I use different ways to score free travel perks like discounted or free lodging, dining and activities. I belong to every frequent flyer and rewards program that is out there. Later in my blog, I will devote many pages of posts to strategies for acquiring the most reward points and using them wisely for the best benefits.

Another way I am able to find free hotel rooms and fabulous free meals is by mystery shopping. Since I must keep my identity as a mystery shopper confidential or I can blow my cover, I have to keep the details quiet. I specialize in hotel and fine dining shops and pick up other mystery shops in retail, banking, gas, fast food and others to supplement my income along the way of my travels. It doesn't pay for everything, but it sure does help out the bottom line.

Come away with me around the world or down the block to visit some wonderful new sites and some ancient ones as well. My interests tend to all things Celtic whether standing stones or Irish pubs. Lift a Guinness or two with me! Slainte!!!
