Tanning information for New Smyrna Beach

Beachside Tanning is an independent information site for people in New Smyrna Beach thinking about a tan. We explain the options in plain language so you know what to expect and what to ask before you book. We aren't a salon, and we don't sell tanning sessions.

Living near the beach means a lot of sun already. Whatever kind of tan you're considering, protecting your skin comes first. That's why our guides put sun safety up front and point you to official health sources rather than making promises about what tanning will do for you.

Ask the salon about safety

Every salon should be able to explain its safety guidelines, including how it sets session times, what eye protection it provides, and what it recommends for your skin type. If you're not sure about something, ask the salon before your appointment, and talk to a doctor or dermatologist if you have skin concerns or take medication that makes you sensitive to light.
