Beautiful beaches that are more shallow than other beaches, great for learning how to surf or bodyboard because there are no rocks!

Great place that’s right down the way to connect with nature and to experience native Florida plants/trees and wildlife. Free entry and there is a boardwalk that takes you through the trees, locals like to go for exercise too.

Kelly Park is about an hour and 15 minutes away and absolutely worth a day trip!! There is an amazing lazy river (bring or rent a raft!) with crystal clear water that’s perfect for snorkeling…you can even find sharks teeth in the swimming area but don’t worry, there are no sharks there! (Possibly prehistoric teeth)

Kaupunkia koskevat ohjeet

Liikkuminen

Best to rent a car or to bring your own to get around town.

Turo is another great app for car renting from the airport, it’s the Airbnb for cars!
Mitä kannattaa pakata mukaan

Bring comfortable breathable shoes

Most people do a lot of walking here since there’s so many great things to see & experience. Bring flip flops & a hat for the beach, sunscreen is a must because the sun can get intense. There are a lot of insects in Florida but most won’t bother you at all, if you’re sensitive make sure to bring or buy insect repellent.
Lasten kanssa matkustaminen

Bring sunscreen

Make sure to have plenty of sunscreen for the kiddos and lots of water/drinks if you’re out and about playing in the sunny weather! Cocoa beach (second light area or near Patrick Air Force base) is probably the beach beach for families since it is shallow and no rocks.
