Beaches straight west are terrible. You have to go south and west to get to decent beaches. You can go straight east on 44 to New Smyrna Beach. Drive your car onto the beach, park and unload your stuff, and enjoy. Neat little beach town if you go in the north entrance. Hint: pay attention to the tide schedule. At high tide not much beach. Plan to be there about two hours before low tide and you will have a great time. About a 75 minute drive. A lot closer than good Gulf beachs south.
