_{New Smyrna Beach}

33.08 Square Miles
New Smyrna Beach is nestled among beautiful moss-hung trees along the shores of the historic and picturesque Indian River in southeast Volusia County. Evidence of its magnificent heritages include the Turnbull Ruins, the home of Dr. Andrew Turnbull, the Scottish physician credited with establishing the colony of New Smyrna, made entirely of coquina shells, and the Sugar Mill Ruins, built around the 1820’s to process cane into sugar.

The 8-mile stretch of Atlantic coast beach has earned the reputation as the "World’s Safest Beach." The economy is based on tourism, light manufacturing, agriculture and service-related businesses.
