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. |
