Bethune Volusia Beach, located between New Smyrna Beach and Canaveral National Seashore, is a coastal and outdoorsy Edgewater neighborhood with oceanfront driving access and a dune-lined shoreline. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Bethune Beach Park entrance on S Atlantic Ave, where surf rigs, beach walkers, and anglers set the tempo. Low-slung beach cottages and compact condos sit behind sea oats, with long views across the Atlantic. The Mary McLeod Bethune Beach Park pavilion and boardwalk frame sunrise routines and breezy picnic breaks. A short drive north, JB’s Fish Camp and the Turtle Mound River Tour boats tie daily life to the Indian River Lagoon.
