Spot Guide
New Smyrna Beach Inlet is widely regarded as the most consistent surf spot in Florida — dubbed the "Surfing Capital of the East Coast" by SURFER Magazine. The Ponce de Leon Inlet creates strong tidal flow that builds quality sandbars, producing rights near the south jetty and scattered peaks stretching south. Works on virtually any swell direction and at all tides. Also known as the "Shark Bite Capital of the World" due to blacktip sharks attracted by baitfish in the inlet runoff.
