Latest reviews on Cape Canaveral's beaches

Tables Beach
8 Zara Parkhurst

This beach was absolutely incredible... I'm not sure if it was calm and peaceful because of the rain that had fallen before my family arrived, but it was truly stunning. After the rain stopped, we strolled along the dune path and stumbled upon this breathtaking sight of two surfers riding the waves, with the bluish purple sky blending into the ocean. It felt like we had our very own secluded beach for hours. 😊

Cocoa beach

We had a wonderful time at Cocoa Beach. The area we visited was stunning with its pristine surroundings and picturesque scenery. We found a convenient parking spot that allowed easy access to the beach. The atmosphere of the neighborhood was very relaxed and laid-back. If you're searching for a family-friendly beach to enjoy some boogie boarding and watch your children build sandcastles, Cocoa Beach is definitely worth considering. And don't forget to grab a bite at Sergio's Tacos when you're feeling hungry!

Cherie Down beach Park
8 Jason M.

The beach offers complimentary parking and easy access. The walkway is well-maintained and has a modern feel. However, some areas could benefit from a refresh. The tables and grill show signs of wear and tear, and there's only one shower available. The bathrooms are decent but not exceptional. Overall, the beach earns four stars due to its complimentary nature; otherwise, it would only receive two stars.

Playalinda beach
10 Nina K.

This is an excellent and secluded spot to visit, with a pristine atmosphere, an ocean that never stops caressing the beach, and abundant wildlife in every direction.

Hangar's beach
10 NebulaExplorer

This beach is absolutely beautiful and also serves as a sanctuary for sea turtles. It's important to note that there are no bright lights allowed on the beach, and occasionally low flying aircraft pass by due to its proximity to Patrick AFB. However, it's typically a peaceful and clean spot, despite the seaweed, rocks, and shells that can be found. While there is some traffic on A1A, it's not too bothersome. Overall, it's a lovely place to visit, and you may even catch a glimpse of NASA or cruise ships passing by.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
