What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

King tides and strong winds recently pushed the ocean up to the seawall in Daytona Beach. The conditions led to a slowdown in local businesses, such as a souvenir shop near the beach. In New Smyrna Beach, the high tide carved into sand from a county project that was completed in May. Volusia County stated that the sand moved offshore and continues to help protect homes.
