Island-like living in Buena Vista Shores
On any given day in Buena Vista Shores, locals can feel a cool breeze flowing through this borderline island-like neighborhood, nestled between the waterways of Indian River North. Less than a mile from the beach and the mainland, locals settle into homes that feel like they’re in a world of their own. When not on the clock, people spend their days fishing and boating on the river.
Buena Vista Shores is a boaters paradise with private docks and ample water access.
These Buena Vista Shores homes boast spacious docks and private pools.

Setting sail on Indian River North
Buena Vista Shores is almost entirely encircled by the Indian River North. Angler fishers delight in an afternoon spent on the Indian River’s water, home to over 685 fish species. Locals set sail from the New Smyrna Marina or join their sailing buddies at the New Smyrna Freedom Boat Club. Even if members don’t own a boat, the club lets people reserve a vessel from their fleet for a day on the water. Kayakers and canoers also take to the waters, sometimes making pit stops at Chicken Island and Lilly’s Island. At Buena Vista Park, the two piers ranging upward to 250 feet long offer hours of fishing from sunrise to sunset. Kids run around the playground while parents picnic nearby and watch pelicans scoop fish out of the water. For a day at the oceanfront, residents only need to head east on Causeway North toward Central Beach 1 mile away.
Boating is a popular hobby among Buena Vista Shores residents.
Watch the boats cruise along the Indian River Lagoon at Riverside Park.

Mint mojitos and open mic Mondays
The neighborhood is small, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t a few local options for dining and entertainment. Many locals start their day at Island Roasters Coffee Company with an iced latte and a freshly baked pastry. In fact, the eatery has become a staple in the neighborhood; resident and owner Scott Clawson says, “There’s always lots of people from the community socializing and networking at our location.” He also shares that the company “supports pop-ups with local bakers who often make fresh bread and cinnamon rolls.” For a night out, Outriggers Tiki Bar & Grille is known for its signature Mojito cocktails made with mint-flavored tequila, or friends head to Merk’s Bar and Grill for a game of shuffleboard while chowing down on pub fare. When residents want a good laugh, Madcap’s Comedy Club has an open mic on Mondays and comedy showcases on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Oftentimes, the weekends are filled with star-studded headliners. If residents need groceries, they make a trip to the mainland. Perrine’s Produce is less than 2 miles away and stocks all sorts of produce and prepared foods.
Pastel offerings in the neighborhood
Buena Vista Shores has something for everyone looking to live a coastal lifestyle. The area has abundant listings for condos and even a few detached homes between $250,000 and $590,000. Listings on the higher end typically cost between $750,000 and $2 million. Detached housing typically comes in the ranch style, but multi-story and Mediterranean-inspired houses are also common. The community’s streets are lined with lush lawns and vibrant green palm trees, and properties are painted in soft pastel blues, greens, yellows and pinks.

Local education, in and out of school
Students are zoned for Coronado Beach Elementary School, which has a B-plus score on Niche. Older students move on to New Smyrna Beach Middle School, which has a B-minus on Niche, and ultimately graduate from New Smyrna Beach High School. The school has a score of B and is the fourth-best public high school in Volusia County. Students can take Advanced Placement, Career and Technical Education, dual enrollment and Cambridge Pre-AICE (IGCSE) courses alongside their core curriculum. Learning opportunities continue at the Marine Discovery Center, which frequently partners with the Volusia County School District to teach students about conservation, a cornerstone of the center’s mission. In fact, in 2014, the center used government grant money to restore five acres of the salt marsh in Buena Vista Shores. They also have monthly public lectures and daily eco-tours, allowing people of all ages to expand their knowledge of the estuary, the salt marsh and its inhabitants.
Public school students in grades 9-12 attend New Smyrna Beach High School.

Causeway North connects to mainland and sea
Public transportation isn’t available outside the mainland, so residents are car-dependent. However, heading into the mainland or toward the oceanfront is a breeze with Causeway North bisecting the neighborhood. Drivers are connected to U.S. State Route 1 by heading west, and heading east changes Causeway North into the popular Flagler Avenue, which leads straight to the beach. When residents need to take a trip out of town, New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport is a little over 3 miles away.
Adjacent to the Causeway sits the idyllic Buena Vista Park.
Access New Smyrna Beach easily from Buena Vista Shores via the North Causeway.
