New Smyrna Beach

An authentic, less-crowded beach offering a relaxed local atmosphere, beautiful waves, and a wide stretch of shoreline that's perfect for a family day at the beach.

Located on Florida's Atlantic Coast, New Smyrna Beach is a favorite destination for both families and surfing enthusiasts. Its wide sandy shoreline offers plenty of space for long walks, family fun, and relaxing by the ocean, even during busier times of the year.

Unlike some of Florida's more touristy beaches, New Smyrna Beach has a laid-back, local feel. You'll find charming independent restaurants, unique boutiques, and the lively Flagler Avenue, just steps from the beach, where you can enjoy shopping, dining, and the relaxed coastal atmosphere.

The beach is well known for its excellent surfing conditions, but many areas are also perfect for families looking to enjoy a peaceful day by the ocean. One unique feature of New Smyrna Beach is that vehicles are permitted on certain sections of the sand.

For the safest and most relaxing experience, we recommend choosing one of the pedestrian-only beach access areas.

If you're looking for a more authentic Florida beach experience away from the biggest crowds, New Smyrna Beach is an excellent choice.
