Canaveral National Seashore

Great experience combining Florida's wetland ecosystem and the beach. No showers, but restrooms are available. The beach strip is narrow, and for a more typical beach experience, I would recommend Jetty Park or the Cocoa Beach. On the way to the entrance, there are a couple of side trips you can take to drive thru the wetlands park and do some bird watching.

Our favorite beach. Use your national park pass or park pass for after entrance. Go early it is popular on the weekends, and when there are Space X launches that day. Primitive restrooms (no running water). Kayak Launch sites, nude beaches (last/end parking lot). All sorts of wildlife can be seen.

Not sure which is cooler… huge birds, flooding crabs, or big cats? Bobcat encounter was definitely something we weren’t expecting, and she almost got a raccoon when we were there… 0”0

Amazing beach, it does cost $20 to get in but as long as you keep your receipt it is definitely worth it because it can be used for 6 more days. There are 13 different places to park to access the beach which is also nice because then you can choose your preference of busy or not busy beach.

This is absolutely my favorite beach. You can see hatching baby sea turtles and other wildlife, watch rockets launch, and swim nude. There is not the random riff raff that you get in more populated beach resort areas. It is very clean and well managed. Every person there is there to have fun. It feels very rustic and close to nature. I highly recommend visiting this hidden gem.

Wonderful remote feeling but close to all amenities. Beautiful. Can see Cape Kennedy structures from the turn around. Plentiful bathrooms. Beware though if nudity offends you.

Incredible. We had such a great time at this park. It was weird though to see some naked folks on the shore at the end of the scenic drive. Must be some philosophy behind all that.

Wow. I mean Wow. If you like your parks and beaches uncrowded (even when New Smyrna Beaches ramps are closed due to beach capacity!), serene, natural, full of wildlife & fish, with access to both beach & intercoastal, clean and with facilities. As for me, that’s exactly what I was looking for on one of the hottest Sundays yet this summer. The breeze off the water kept us cool and kept the bugs away except when I waded into the water of the intercoastal to take some fabulous photos. As you can see in some of my pics, we saw an Osprey swoop into the water and nab a fish, then proudly sit on a pole and devour it. Cool 😎! Lots of trails to hike, beach to walk and, as you can see in my pics, choose your spot on the beach - it’s almost empty! Bottom line: Go, run, don’t wait to visit Canaveral National Seashore! Pay your $20 for a week worth of entry and just do it 👍🏼
