Looped In: Florida's New Smyrna Beach

Jul. 23, 2018

By Terry Gibson

About an hour from the Orlando International Airport, New Smyrna Beach is a paradise for anyone who loves salt water.

The town boasts the most consistent and one of the best surfing beaches on the Eastern Seaboard.

Offshore fishing opportunities include great bottom fishing and fishing for pelagic species. And inshore anglers enjoy a maze of mangrove and salt marsh habitats that teem with redfish, trout and flounder among other species..

When you’re done fishing, check our everything else -- and there's plenty -- that New Smyna Beach has to offer here.
