3 days
in Fort Smith

A 3-day plan that gets the best out of Fort Smith without burning out by day four. Skip a day if you need to — the trip is yours.

  1. Day 1

    Arrive and acclimatise

    Land in Fort Smith, drop bags at your Booking.com property and don't try to do too much. Walk the closest neighbourhood, find a café, eat somewhere local and call it early. Day-one jet lag is undefeated.

  2. Day 2

    The classic Fort Smith day

    Lean into what Fort Smith is famous for — a slow morning on the sand, long lunch, swim before the heat drops.

  3. Day 3

    Go a bit deeper

    Pick a corner of Fort Smith you haven't seen yet. Fort Smith also leans into family — use today to mix it up.
