At least twice a year and more if we can manage, we load the truck up with beach equipment, bicycles, fishing gear and make the 670 mile trek South to New Smyrna Beach. In 8 years of coming here, we probably haven't stepped on the public beaches of NSB more than a couple of times in the evening. Instead, we... More

We live up in Titusville and frequent this beach often. The crowds tend to be smaller, the beach tends to be cleaner and we always have a great time. Be aware that there is a $5 per car charge, but you can have as many people in the car as you please. There are restrooms but no showers so we... More

Playalinda is a great place if you like to get away from overpacked commercial beaches. They have small bathroom areas. Not food areas but pack a cooler and make a day of it.

It is a large, open place that features alligators, a variety of bird species, manatees, feral pigs and other animals in their natural settings.

We were able to park in the 2nd lot and watched the launch from the top of the boardwalk over to the beach. It went off right at the beginning of the launch time window. We visited... More

If you like wetlands, birds, manatee, and countless other species in a quiet and vast wetland, this is a wonderful day. As the KSC is now essentially closed for manned space flight, much of the area formerly closed is now... More

This is a beautiful park. 6 miles long, boarding the ocean and the mosquito lagoon. Admission is 6.00, or if 62 or older lifetime pass for 10.00, for car. Several short paths to interesting places. Wonderful new visitor building, with friendly staff,along with a great short movie about the area. A pontoon trip on weekends in the mosquito lagoon, 1030,... More

As a keen amateur photographer this is an excellent location for seascapes, shore birds and just soaking up some rays in the sun.
