Port Canaveral -- South Jetty Park
Monday, March 16, 2015
8:30 am – 8:30 pm

Let's revisit a hidden gem together!

We selected this beach because we discovered last year that it is generally of no interest to hoards of spring breakers. There are no hotels, shops, loud music, or pizza parlors--the things essential to most teens wanting to"partaaaaay."  You can again enjoy the clean and quiet two-story concession stand, sundry shop, restrooms, and the lovely grounds of South Jetty Park.
