A laid-back surf town beach with boardwalk vibes, indie shops, and galleries steps away. Frequently praised by Southern Living and Travel + Leisure; recognized by surf media for consistent breaks. Drivable-beach zones and frequent community events add local flavor.
Flagler Avenue Beachfront Park is a gem—easy parking on the beach , beautiful sandy shores, and a mile of unique shops and eateries just steps away. Cool beach spots, friendly vibes, and plenty to explore make it perfect for a laid-back day by the ocean. Great beaches, great energy, unforgettable atmosphere.

I LOVE New Smyrna
It is so quaint.
The beach is awesome, flat sand
(Cars ride on the beach so be careful)
There are sooo many little shops and restaurants and bars when you are striding towards the beach
We happened to go because there was a jazz festival going on.
PROBLEM with the festival was most of the groups were inside certain restaurants/ bars
Very few just playing in the open like a "regular"
festival.
BUT, we went to LUMA'S
it is an outdoor coffee shop with tables and swings.
I loved this little gem
The young baristas were awesome.
Since those who follow me know my husband is a Coffee connoisseur (and we've been known
to go to many,many coffee shops known in Volusia County)
I am a Coffee Teeterler and I still have trouble figuring out what coffee I like to taste
Anyway, we had a great time and if you're local (Daytona, Ormond) especially a tourist,
This is a MUST on your list to travel to
Photos are awesome

Flagler beach was absolutely beautiful. We had to pay to park but I think it is free after 5pm. The beach was very clean, plenty of sun and fun. There are several eating places by the beach so no worries on food. Make sure to bring your chair and umbrella and enjoy the day.

We stopped here on our trek up north and the water was absolutely gorgeous. I love sand bars and they did not disappoint ! The area was clean and public restrooms were near, along with lots of shops and restaurants. I gavor the Gulf coast but this area is one of our favorites in FL.🌴🌊😎

I mean what can you say about New Smyrna Beach except for Flagler Ave and the amazing dining multiple restaurants that are superb and just it's just an overall great time to be had anytime you're in New Smyrna no matter what time of the day you go

Always so fun and clean. Plenty of parking for $20.00 per day in the lot. You can drive and park in the beach too.

So much fun!! We parked on the beach which was a little pricey at 30 something dollars but we spent majority of the day there so it was worth it! Clean and well maintained. There were lifeguards up and down the beach. We had a great time. Definitely coming back soon.
