The City

Bridging the historic mainland with the “island” and its white, sandy beaches, the six-mile New Smyrna Beach (NSB) Waterfront Loop creates the heart of New Smyrna Beach. The loop views are of the Intracoastal Waterway, Indian River and Atlantic Ocean.

In Orlando Sentinel surveys, central Floridians have named New Smyrna “Florida’s Best Beach” seven years running.

New Smyrna Beach claims the distinction of being the second oldest city in Florida, though some historians believe it is even older than St. Augustine. Over 30 historical legends, artifacts and local site stand as a testament to New Smyrna Beach’s rich history.
