A nice park to the north of Manatee Sanctuary Park If you…read moreliked Manatee Sanctuary Park, just keep going north like 3-4 minutes by car (or a little longer if you're walking) and you can find Banana River Park. It is basically the next little spot up the road on the same side of the river. The day I visited it was not busy and was clean. They've got a cute little dock on the north end where I stood when i visited and watched a couple manatees swimming within about 30 feet of the dock for easily a quarter of an hour. There's a big open soccer field up on the north end but just south of the little dock. It has actual goals if you ever feel like kicking a ball around. There is structure at the south end in front of the parking lot with bathrooms and a few tables that is open on 3 sides facing teh water and the park. It's a really nice park, but there's no real trail or long walkway along the water like at Manatee Sanctuary. It's more just grass, a few benches, and that dock. So if you're in the mood for a longer walk or that covered boardwalk vibe, stick with Manatee Sanctuary. But if you just wanna park, walk 30 seconds to the dock, and probably see manatees hanging out, Banana River Park is awesome for that. I'd hit both in the same morning!

The best part about this place is being able to reserve parking online. If you do that, from what I…read moreunderstand, you are guaranteed entry. Bonus, if there is a line waiting for the booth and someone scans your QR code before that, you can just swing around them and enter if there is room. You still get a great view of SpaceX though those pads are about as far to the north as you can get. The real reason to go here would be for any boosters coming down to the LZs or perhaps Blue Origin which I believe launches from the south.

Good for local sports teams (though a short to centerfield), it also boasts a fresh playground set-up that includes an area designated for 2-5 year-olds, in addition to a larger area for kids 5-12. It's maintained well, and it's easy to park near or walk to from the surrounding area. A solid public park.

I love the ultra fine white sand with tons of shells that have washed ashore. Want to start a shell collection? This is a good place to start. The waves here are amazing and a great place to go for people who have a knack for surfing. I think the facilities here also also well maintained. The boardwalks and beach access points are sturdy and well constructed. Bathrooms are available at the entrance to the beach access points. Overall, one of the best beaches I've been to in Florida. An added bonus is that it's not overly crowded and parking is plentiful! :)

Our site was partially shaded with a perfectly level pad with full hookups. The staff here was extremely friendly and helpful from the moment we arrived at the entrance and since all reservations are completed online check-in at the camp store was fast and easy. The sites in our section were spacious with plenty of parking for our tow vehicle and accommodated our 41 foot MotorCoach without any issues. One of the things we liked about this campground is it's located inside Jetty Park but has a secure entrance that requires a code for the camping community with separate restrooms and showers if you need them. There is also easy access within walking distance to the beach and a pier located along the inlet which provides great views of the cruise ships entering and exiting the port as well as great views of the numerous rocket launches throughout the year. Jetty Park also has a cafe serving breakfast and lunch and a fully stocked bait shop, on the weekends you may find food trucks and Kona Snow Cones as well as many picnic tables and shaded pavilions for public use. The park is regularly patrolled and provides a safe family environment. This is definitely a campground we'll return to again and again - a little planning will allow you to pick the perfect RV or Tent site of your choosing...

It's also right behind Ron Jon's Surf Shop and a great place to watch rocket launches from nearby Cape Canaveral. I'll definitely go back, again and again!
