New Smyrna Beach incorporates small-town charm with history, culture and, of course, brilliant Florida sunshine. The closest beach to Orlando area attractions, New Smyrna Beach offers an excellent vacation destination. An average temperature of 74°F allows for year-round sunbathing, fishing, golf and tennis. Just south lies Canaveral National Seashore, a 24-mile pristine coastline serving as a refuge for endangered and protected wildlife. New Smyrna Beach incorporates a 13.2-mile stretch of snow-white sand, with limited crowds, noise or pollution. A rock ledge located about 4 miles off the coast protects bathers from undercurrents, giving New Smyrna distinction as The World’s Safest Bathing Beach.
From the Atlantic surf to 20-miles offshore, anglers from all over the world enjoy saltwater fishing at its finest. And Mosquito Lagoon, a 21.5-mile long and 3.5-mile wide lagoon, offers some of the best backwater fishing in the country.

Originally preserved and recently restored turn-of-the-century buildings line the streets of New Smyrna Beach. The shopping districts of Flagler Avenue and Canal Street have received more than $20 million in renovations in recent years.
