About New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach is best known for having the best surfing in Florida and its moniker as the Shark Bite Capital of the World. Don't be alarmed though, shark bites are still rare, haven't been fatal in years, and primarily happen to surfers that are way out past the break. New Smyrna Beach has hosted the National Scholastic Surfing Association Championships, the National Kidney Foundation Pro-Am Surf Festival, and the National Scholastic Surfing Association East Coast Championships due to its incredible waves. Also, New Smyrna Beach lets you drive on the beach, which is a unique experience that you can't find at many other beaches!
The city boasts an incredible array of resturants like Norwoods, The Garlic, Avenu On Flagler, and The Breakers. Many of the local restaurants are located on Flagler Avenue, which is a popular shopping district that leads to the beach, Canal Street, which is the historic downtown area, and Third Avenue, which is the beachside shopping district.
More than 422,000 people visit New Smyrna Beach each year to take in the incredible sunrises, enjoy the family-friendly atmosphere, and experience the local culture. Make your way to the Flagler Ave beach, or any of the other 13 beach access points, to enjoy an east coast sunrise over the water and take in the beauty of the Atlantic Ocean.
