Ponce Inlet Beach — Attraction in New Smyrna Beach

Another must go beach. If you're a Volusia county resident I believe it's $20 for the whole year just show your registration, and it's only good for that vehicle.

Nice walking trails as well wooded with decks. But down the street is really nice lots of stores ice cream you can walk from the beach they also have the lighthouse that you can go up in which is nice as well it's like $7 a person give or take. And the picture of the alligator was not taken on the property that was just to bring you to my site.lol All kid around we haven't seen one alligator...

The beach us safe, clean and quiet. Love it here.

Go, enjoy and come back for the...
