Outdoor
recreation is a way of life in New Smyrna Beach, with
everything from swimming and scuba diving to golf and
hiking. However, the beaches are the top draw for this
beautiful island town. It has more than 13 miles of pristine
white sand beaches with an additional 24 miles of coastline
at nearby Canaveral National Seashore, which is located
on the south end of the island. New Smyrna Beach was voted
“Best Beach in Florida,” by readers of Florida Monthly
Magazine.
Visitors and residents love sunning and beachcombing on
the sandy beaches, many enjoy windsurfing, sailing, surf
fishing and other activities. It’s also a great place
for those who want to learn more about Florida’s diverse
ecology, where boat tours are available of the Indian
River Lagoon, and with the Canaveral National Seashore’s
dunes, lagoon and salt marsh and several endangered species
of birds and animals. |
