Do you need a permit on New smyrna beaches?

No permit needed. Fla beaches require no permits to metal detect, only exception is the treasure coast where the Spanish Fleet sank in 1715, there you can't put a detector in the water unless you own a Treasure lease or are a sub contractor of a lease holder.

Map below is map of the Treasure Coast, stay out of water with detector on its entire location on map.
