New Smyrna Beach

New Smyrna Beach sits on Florida’s Atlantic coast beside the Indian River Lagoon, where barrier islands, tidal waterways and broad sandy beaches shape the city’s setting. Ponce de Leon Inlet forms its northern edge, connecting the Intracoastal Waterway with the ocean and supporting a long-standing boating and fishing culture. Founded in 1768 by Scottish physician Andrew Turnbull as the British colony of New Smyrna, the community retains reminders of its early history in its historic districts and museums. Today, surf breaks, beach access and the relaxed streets around Canal Street give the city a distinct identity on Florida’s east coast.
