Canaveral National Seashore

I have lived in Florida most of my life but have
only recently went to Canaveral National Seashores.
We went on Memorial Day weekend. The admission was $10.00 per car. For all day access. They except credit cards.
The parking is ample. We drove down to the fourth lot and there was a lot of parking spaces still open. There where only about 20 families on the beach. We had lots of space and it felt like we where swimming alone.
The beach is steep and not wide but a lot of length between parking entrance points. It has lots of sea shells which you can't find at beaches north of the park.
It was a calm day so no big waves. Very relaxing. The part of the beach we where at had a tide pool about two feet deep. Great for small children.
The only thing I did not enjoy about this beach are the bathrooms. No showers, no separate changing area, no running water, basically the bathrooms are permanent porta potties.
Cons: Bad bathroom, narrow beaches and no concession area.
Pros: no crowd's, lots of sea shells, beautiful veiw, cheep admissions, and you can see NASA's launch stations. Plus they have a really cool visitors center with a pond with snapping turtles.

Beautiful & peaceful!

Went on a National parks roadtrip and loved it! No clue about the bathrooms. Note that there is a nudist beach far down if you're going and do/don't want to be part of that.

Tried visiting on December 31. Park access was closed due to federal government shutdown. Seminole Rest was open and full of mosquitos.

It is beautiful but at least when we went it wasn't too great for swimming. There were just a few people fishing and rest of the beach was open. The waves were very strong. My only complaint is we could not find the visitors center and I like to get stamps for my National Passport Book. Still beautiful and very few people.
