Another Idea for Your Day
Playalinda Beach (1 hour)Sunrise on Playalinda Beach is worth the early start. This special place is often cited as one of the most beautiful beaches in the U.S. It is much the same view as our ancestors saw, still undeveloped, with sandy long stretches of open beach, sea oats growing on the dunes and the quiet roar of Atlantic Ocean surf. Head over A. Max Brewer Bridge to SR 406/SR 402
(Beach Road). ADA accessible beach ramps are found at Eddy Creek and boardwalks 8,10,11 & 12. This is part of the 24 miles of Canaveral National Seashore and there is a fee per vehicle.
