Flagler Avenue is the cultural and commercial heart of New Smyrna Beach, with drive-on beach access and the town's main beach entry. The surf here can wedge up and barrel on the right swell, reaching 2-10 feet. More of a "town beach" compared to the inlet — reliable but not as high-quality. Plenty of surf shops, rentals, and lesson providers nearby.
