Destination Guide
New Smyrna Beach — Central Florida's Best Kept Secret
Where a small beach town meets world-class waves
New Smyrna Beach is the kind of place you do not want to leave. It pairs a relaxed, small beach-town feel with some of the best surf on the East Coast and a genuinely charming local dining and art scene.
Most of the action, the nightlife and the events, lives up on the north end around Flagler Avenue. The south end stays quiet and uncrowded, which is exactly where you want to wake up. Spend your mornings on the sand and your evenings exploring Flagler Avenue, the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, and the local galleries.
