New Smyrna Beach: E 26th Ave.
About
New Smyrna Beach: E 26th Ave. is a stretch of beach in the town of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, about 5 miles from the center of town. It's a simple shoreline spot rather than a trail or a set of facilities, so plan on it as a place to reach the sand rather than a destination with a fixed route. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 73°F and November highs around 76°F, while summer highs climb into the upper 80s. For time off the beach, the AD Eldora Hammock Trail is about 8 miles away, and the Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve Trail and Castle Windy Trail are both within about 9 miles.
