Further south is New Smyrna Beach, a beachfront community with a quiet charm and 13 miles of white sand beach, warm ocean breeze and the Canaveral National Seashore, a pristine natural beach habitat. The backwaters of Mosquito Lagoon offer fishing pleasure. Ocean fishing yields redfish, grouper, tarpon and many others. The Atlantic Center for the Arts draws artists from throughout the world.
