This park is so far, for me, the closest beach -access- coming from East Orlando area, and it's…read morefree parking. Also I found that area of the beach gets a lot less crowded that if you go south in cape canaveral/cocoa beach, and it is free parking again, I like that - also they have decent - bathrooms. They have a picnic area. Outdoor shower to rinse out, and a ramp access to the beach. It's Near jetty park and also you can catch a good view of the space launch, and cruises going out of the port. They don't have a lifeguard station at all in this area of the beach that I recall tho. the parking fills fast, need to get there early in the morning, or sometimes go later in the afternoon. Recommended.

This little hidden gem is one of my favorite places to park for free when visiting the beach. Of…read morecourse, the free parking is the main reason but beach access is really good and it offers free public restrooms. The women's restroom has 2 stalls and 1 sink. There is one pavilion and a set of showers to rinse the sand off before getting back into your vehicle. This is about all of the amenities that you'll get here so anything you need you'll have to bring with you - chairs, umbrellas, a cooler full of snacks and water, sunscreen, etc. You won't find a lifeguard or probably too many tourists here either. The parking lot is small, so it is best to arrive earlier in the day to get a spot, although, sometimes closer to the evening there are spots available, too.

I still love the beach when I want to go to the beach. Luckily I know people that live near the beach so we park at their place and walk down to the beach. I've grown a very nice seashell collection from this beach. There are a few spots here and there along the beach that also great for a hangout if you want to be near the beach. Just beware of the parking meters if you don't know people who live in the area.

This park was formerly known as Pineda Landing since it is just north of the Pineda Causeway. In…read more2000 the park had its named changed to MIA/POW Park to honor prisoners of war, veterans, and those missing in action. The Veterans Council P.O.W. Chapter represented 60 organizations that urged the commissioners to rename the park to honor what took place during the wars and to recognize the cruel treatment suffered by prisoners of war. POW/MIA Park is one of several waterfront parks along this stretch of the Indian River. What makes this 4.58 acre park stand out is that it has a two lane boat ramp for motorized vessels. There is also a kayak and canoe launch. Near the boat ramp is restrooms. On the other side of the park is a community center with a meeting rent that can be rented for private events. Shoreline fishing is permitted in the park. This park is primarily for the boaters and anglers although anyone would enjoy the tranquil water view. Other waterfront parks in the area offer picnic and playground and amenities.
