About New Smyrna Beach
New Smyrna Beach (~30,254 residents, 2020 Census; ~33,829 estimated 2026, per worldpopulationreview.com, read September 24, 2026) is a barrier-island surf city south of Daytona Beach, famously dubbed the "Shark Capital of the World." Founded in 1768 as Dr. Andrew Turnbull's Smyrnea colony — one of Florida's oldest settlements — it blends a thriving arts scene (the Atlantic Center for the Arts, Canal Street Historic District) with 13 miles of beach. Flagler Avenue's shops and dining, Smyrna Dunes Park, and the Marine Discovery Center anchor its tourism, while the mainland side offers quieter residential neighborhoods.
