There are 13 miles of white sandy beaches in New Smyrna Beach, voted as one of the "Best Beaches" in the Annual Best of Florida Awards. Although the northern beach is accessible to cars, the bulk of it is traffic free, allowing for peaceful sunbathing and strolls along the shoreline. New Smyrna is also known as "The World's Safest Bathing Beach" because of the rock ledges 45 miles offshore that help protect bathers from treacherous undercurrents.
