I am much more a fan of the Atlantic .... it is an actual ocean. The Gulf is more like a big salty bathtub most of the time.

Yes, NSB is the shark bite capital of the entire world, however 99.987% of those are withing 100 yards of the inlet on the extreme northern end of the beach.

NSB due to the nature of being cut off to the north by Ponce Inlet (Daytona is on the other side) and to the south by The Canaveral National Seashore (which goes all the way south through Kennedy Space Center) has no through traffic. As such it has remained a fairly quaint Fla beach town ..... virtually unchanged from the 70's.
