Also I found that area of the beach gets a lot less crowded that if you go south in cape canaveral/cocoa beach, and it is free parking again, I like that - also they have decent - bathrooms. They have a picnic area. Outdoor shower to rinse out, and a ramp access to the beach. It's Near jetty park and also you can catch a good view of the space launch, and cruises going out of the port. They don't have a lifeguard station at all in this area of the beach that I recall tho. the parking fills fast, need to get there early in the morning, or sometimes go later in the afternoon. Recommended.

This little hidden gem is one of my favorite places to park for free when visiting the beach. Of…read morecourse, the free parking is the main reason but beach access is really good and it offers free public restrooms. The women's restroom has 2 stalls and 1 sink. There is one pavilion and a set of showers to rinse the sand off before getting back into your vehicle. This is about all of the amenities that you'll get here so anything you need you'll have to bring with you - chairs, umbrellas, a cooler full of snacks and water, sunscreen, etc. You won't find a lifeguard or probably too many tourists here either. The parking lot is small, so it is best to arrive earlier in the day to get a spot, although, sometimes closer to the evening there are spots available, too.

We raced over from Tampa to get here by dawn and found plenty of parking (you can pay by card, coin or Park Mobile app). It's just a short walk by boardwalk/ramp to the sand and there it is: sea, sun and surf... right at your feet. It's really Florida gorgeous... and so easy to access. It's also right behind Ron Jon's Surf Shop and a great place to watch rocket launches from nearby Cape Canaveral. I'll definitely go back, again and again!

All kayaks, paddles, and lifejackets were in good condition. The location is excellent, right at the start of the best dolphin and manatee viewing areas, between the fabulous beachfront houses and the mangrove islands. The pool was clean and good sized, with a view across the water (for sunsets). The store had affordable-priced ice cream treats, which were very appealing after a warm day on the water. A tip for kayaking is the best area is the outside edge next to houses, because it is protected from wind, has water deep enough for dolphins, and makes it easy to find your way back to The Riverfront.

It was lively the last time I was there and it seemed empty and not as full of merchandise as I remember. It is good to stop in to look to see if something catches your eye.

Worst Experience EVER! My husband and I decided to go on a last minute beach trip away from Miami…read moreand this is where we ended up going. We both found swimsuits and were headed to check out. I asked the man at the counter if they had somewhere to change and also asked about the return or exchange policy because my swimsuit was one size, he said we could change in the fitting room and i could try on the swimsuit before buying to make sure . So I paid for my husband's shorts then he changed into them and I changed into my swimsuit to make sure it fit and brought the tag to the register to pay. After I paid, this lady comes running at me asking me where my receipt is and saying I didn't pay. I told her I already paid for the items and she could ask the man at the register. Then my husband comes out of the dressing room and she's screaming that we didn't pay for those and trying to snatch the receipts which I had on top of my wallet out of my hands. I told her to not touch me and to ask the man at the register because I dropped one of my receipts while she was attacking me. She grabbed my arm and tried to yank me back to take my receipts out of my hand and after she finally asked the man at the register if we paid and he said yes, she ran into the back office. I called the police and couldn't do anything because I live in Miami and will not come all the way back for that. Horrible staff, too expensive. My husband was racially profiled because he's Hispanic and has face tattoos.

We were lucky enough to see several manatees and plenty of dolphins, all while enjoying a slow, peaceful cruise on a beautiful day with an amazing sea breeze. Steve and Lana were exceptional hosts. They were warm, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, and it was obvious how deeply they care about the local wildlife and ecosystem. One thing that really stood out was the respect they showed for the animals. Steve operated the boat with such care and intention, always assuming there could be a manatee nearby or even directly beneath us. It was clear that protecting the wildlife comes before everything else, and that made the experience even more meaningful. We walked away not only with wonderful memories (and photos/videos) but with a much greater understanding of manatees, their habitat, and how we can all help protect them. It's rare to find a tour that is both entertaining and educational, but Steve and Lana have mastered that balance. They also have water and other soft drinks for purchase at what seemed to be almost cost, which was a thoughtful touch on a warm Florida day. If you're considering this tour, don't hesitate. We would absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, ethical, and unforgettable wildlife experience. Thank you, Steve and Lana, for such a fantastic day!
