How Far is New Smyrna Beach from Orlando?

The city of Orlando is home to some of the top attractions in Florida and across the United States, and each year, millions of people fly or drive to Orlando for vacation or leisure. But while Orlando has Disney World, Universal Studios, great golf and much more, what Orlando doesn’t have is a beach. Luckily, this landlocked city is just a short drive to popular New Smyrna Beach.
