SUMMARY:
Playalinda Beach is part of Florida's Canaveral
National Seashore and is run by the National
Park Service. It is the most unspoiled and
pristine beach on the east coast of Florida.
Access is from Titusville. Head east on SR406
and after a mile or two bear right on SR402.
It's going to be about seven or eight miles out to
the NPS booth where you will pay $10 for
access. (There is a little secret here...ask for
the Back Country Pass. It's an additional $2
and allows you to walk beyond the northern
limit of Playalinda. Canaveral National
Seashore extends about 13 miles north to
Apollo Beach, a great hike but needs
preparation. Back Country Passes are limited to
25 per day.) If you have the Golden Eagle or
America the Beautiful passes, you get in free.
(You would still have to pay for the Back
Country Pass) Arriving at the beach, the
clothing-optional section is all the way at the
north end where parking is limited. Arrive by
9am weekdays; earlier on weekends.
The crowd is a very friendly mix of gay, straight,
curious & uncertain. There are NO facilities!
This is Florida and it's hot! Take plenty of water,
sun screen and whatever you want to lug along.
