Coastal Charm and Outdoor Activities in Buena Vista Shores
Buena Vista Shores offers a unique coastal lifestyle, with a cool breeze flowing through this borderline island-like neighborhood. Less than a mile from the beach and the mainland, residents enjoy a serene environment surrounded by the waterways of Indian River North. The area is perfect for fishing and boating, with locals often setting sail from the New Smyrna Marina or joining the New Smyrna Freedom Boat Club.
The neighborhood features several parks, including Buena Vista Park, where residents can fish from piers, picnic, and watch pelicans scoop fish out of the water. For a day at the oceanfront, Central Beach is just a mile away. Dining and entertainment options are plentiful, with Island Roasters Coffee Company, Outriggers Tiki Bar & Grille, and Merk’s Bar and Grill being local favorites. Madcap’s Comedy Club offers regular comedy showcases and open mic nights.
Shopping is convenient with several boutiques and stores nearby, such as Look Charmed, Indigo East Boutique, and Beach Bungalow Clothing Company. For groceries, residents can visit Perrine’s Produce on the mainland. The community is also home to Coronado Beach Elementary School, New Smyrna Beach Middle School, and New Smyrna Beach High School, providing quality education options for families.
Convenient Access to Major Roads and Airports
While Buena Vista Shores is car-dependent, residents find it easy to navigate the area with Causeway North bisecting the neighborhood. This road connects to U.S. State Route 1 to the west and transforms into the popular Flagler Avenue to the east, leading straight to the beach. For longer trips, Daytona Beach International Airport is about 30 minutes away, and Orlando Sanford International Airport is approximately a 50-minute drive. The neighborhood's layout and proximity to major roads make it convenient for residents to access nearby amenities and attractions.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
