Beach Driving and Shark Bite Capital

New Smyrna Beach allows vehicle access on portions of the beach, creating a unique enforcement environment. Beach driving violations, DUI on the sand, and alcohol-related offenses at the Flagler Avenue beach approach are common. NSB is sometimes called the "Shark Bite Capital of the World" due to the high concentration of shark-human interactions. FWC and NSBPD both patrol the beach. All Volusia cases are in the 7th Circuit.

Flagler Avenue Entertainment

Flagler Avenue is New Smyrna Beach's main dining and entertainment strip, running from the mainland across the bridge to the beach. The restaurants, bars, and galleries along Flagler generate weekend nightlife arrests. NSBPD maintains a dedicated downtown patrol unit during peak hours. The Flagler Avenue approach is also the primary beach access point, concentrating enforcement activity.

Beach Driving Enforcement

Volusia County allows vehicle access on designated beach areas in NSB. This creates unique enforcement scenarios: DUI on the beach, traffic violations on sand, and conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. Beach driving requires a daily or annual permit. Driving without a permit, driving in prohibited areas, and reckless driving on the beach are common citations that can escalate to arrests.
