The victim was identified as 56-year-old Robert Lewis Williams, a Volusia County Sheriff's spokesman said.
Witnesses said they saw Willims going into the shallow water, perhaps to cool off from the hot Florida sun the afternoon before.
"Williams (had) family who live close by where the body was found, but he had no known permanent address," Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.
