#Playalinda #Beach is a great place for #recreation, including #swimming, #surfing, #fishing, hanging out on the beach, #birding, #hiking, and more.
Playalinda Beach is inside #CapeCanaveral National #Seashore and next to the #MerrittIsland National #Wildlife Refuge, and many species of #birds and other animals are native or migrating through at any time.
These #Pelicans are year-round residents.

#Playalinda #beach is perfect for #photographing #rocket launches, especially #AtlasV or #Falcon9 #launches.
There are multiple parking lots and boardwalk access to the #beach from Cape Canaveral National Seashore. From there, it is about a mile’s hike to the fence between #CCNS and #KSC / Kennedy Space Center. After the #launch (or #scrub), it’s another mile back to the boardwalk, on sand, carrying #photography gear.
But the launch is often worth it (few places you can *feel* the #sound of the engines), and sometimes the #view on the way back, looking over #MerrittIsland and #MINWR, is worth it too.
