PLAYALINDA Beach

Nice beach and probably closest location to watch rocket launch, in which was impressive. However they charge $25 to enter, although lasts for 7 days think they could offer a cheaper day rate but heard the governor wants these high fees. Considering they offer no showers to rinse and limited toilets, thought it was a rip off. Aside from this the beach is nice and saw a large turtle pop his head up. at the time of visit early July, lots of parking lots (they have 13, were closed) so went to end which is clothing optional but this spills over to lot 12. No a problem as no one hassles you just mainly old and occasionally young men basically enjoying a dip or fishing in the nude. Stayed here for a few hours as the beach is wider here and more spacious than like earlier parking lots like 2-3. Did move down there during rocket launch which was impressive. Found that beach more crowded and rougher sea overall. But generally very clean beach just could do with offering showers to rinse for the 25$ fee. Or for those visiting briefly consider a daily fee less than that. There is no lifeguards and the sea can be rough with rip tides so be careful. Higher rating is for the rocket launch proximity

Very disappointing to have so many turn offs and parking spaces blocked off due to upcoming launch (over a week away when we went). We specifically drove through this area because a park ranger at Canaveral National Seashore Apollo Beach Visitor Center recommended we make the drive down to see Artemis on the launch pad. We couldn’t even slow down (absolutely no traffic around us) without a ranger beeping at us to keep moving.

This is a gorgeous beach in a beautiful natural setting. There plenty of parking. This place is ideal for a long day at the beach. The entire area is natural and undeveloped. Very relaxing. However, be prepared for the $25 per vehicle entry fee.

Beautiful beach. We really enjoyed our visit. We even went to the clothing optional part which was fun, but we did not opt out of our clothes.

Nestled at the very southern tip of the Canaveral National Seashore and butt's right up against the Kennedy Space Center property....it's likely the closest and best spot to witness a launch. Although I would venture to say the most crowded. Easy ramp access to the beach with parking and facilities. You do pay to get on the property as it is a national seashore park. It is worth it to take the drive thru trip (FREE) through the Merritt Island wildlife refuge.

My favorite Beach ❤️ 13 magical beaches with parking. On weekdays and in the afternoon, they are usually deserted. The last beach is traditionally a clothing-optional spot—perhaps that’s why there’s an observatory nearby. :) 🚀 A great place to watch rocket launches. You can purchase an annual pass or pay for entry each time. At the entrance, colorful flags indicate wave conditions and the presence of dangerous marine life.

It's a beautiful beach. Quite windy and the waves were strong when we visited.$25 entrance fee will allow you to use the admission pass for a week.

One of the last few treasures left in Florida, this beach is a beautiful, serene area that helps you feel one with nature. Sometimes if you're lucky, you can watch a rocket launch completely naked and that's pretty cool. Sure there are a couple of creeps, but thankfully not as many as Haulover. Great place to chill and enjoy the sun.
