The thing I don't like about New Smyrna is that there's cars allowed to drive on the beach. When we were there last year, the scenario was... All the people and their blankets and chairs were up at the top of the beach by the sidewalk. Then came the parade of cars up and down the beach (one lane each direction), and then a short amount of space between the cars and the actual water. The result was all the sunbathers were not at the water. They were up at the top of the beach before the lanes of cars.
We prefer a beach that doesn't allow cars, like Cocoa Beach (2 hour drive).
Also, do your visitors prefer ocean or Gulf? We spent decades vacationing between Ocean City, MD, and Nags Head. I love the rough waves. The Gulf is too tame for us.
