Beachside Hotels In New Smyrna Beach

Beachside hotels are the best fit if you want to spend most of your trip near the ocean, Flagler Avenue, and South Atlantic Avenue. Some options are directly oceanfront, while others are a short walk or quick drive from the sand. Pay attention to the beach-distance field on each listing: “on the beach” is very different from “beachside.”

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 restaurants like Norwood's, The Garlic, Avanu 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.

New Smyrna Beach is a city in Volusia County, Florida, United States, located on the central east coast of the state, with the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Its population was estimated to be 33,182 in 2025 by the United States Census Bureau. The downtown section of the city is located on the west side of the Indian River and the Indian River Lagoon system. The Coronado Beach Bridge crosses the Intracoastal Waterway just south of Ponce de Leon Inlet, connecting the mainland with the beach on the coastal barrier island.
