Description

Playalinda Beach, within the pristine Canaveral National Seashore, offers visitors a stretch of unspoiled coastline ideal for surfing and beachcombing, with minimal development that allows nature to take center stage. Known for its serene ambiance and open-minded culture, including an area for clothing-optional sunbathing, the beach is a favorite for those seeking a peaceful, natural environment. Nestled on Florida’s east coast, it boasts beautiful dunes and sweeping ocean views, free from the sight of towering buildings. Facilities are limited to restrooms in each parking lot, reinforcing the beach’s appeal as a quiet getaway where the sounds of waves and coastal breezes reign. It’s also an excellent spot to catch a rocket launch due to its proximity to Kennedy Space Center—though check ahead for updates on launch schedules. Entry fees apply, and the Apollo District Visitor Center nearby provides further insight into the seashore’s natural and cultural significance.
