Limited Access to Playalinda Beach
On November 14, Playalinda Beach, Canaveral National Seashore will reopen to the public, with limited parking and beach access. The beach and dune resources were severely impacted by Tropical Storm Imelda, several king tides, and northeaster wind and rain events. Parking areas 8-13 and main road north of Eddy Creek will remain closed to visitation for safety, clean up and resource protection.
