Xmas Vacation: Cape Canaveral Area Florida > Canaveral National Seashore

15. August 2008 by Dan.

The Christmas of 2006 (as well as two previous years) were spent in the Cape Canaveral area of Florda.  Would highly recommend it, especially if you are in to outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, or biking.   In particular, the Canaveral National Seashore is a great place to see many miles of seashore which is not “wall-to-wall” condos or houses like so much of the US Atlantic coastline.  Within the seashore there are various access points to the beach.   If you are a surf fisher, or surfer, or just like beach combing, you should check it out.  While there, I noticed a lot of people bird watching and taking wildlife photos of all the waterfowl and other bird life (and many animals too!!).  Personally, I am into Saltwater Fly Fishing, and there is plenty of that too, in particular I like the nearby Mosquitto Lagoon, which has many miles of wadable flats, with a wide variety of fish.  If you have children, Orlando is only a little more than an hour away, as well as the Kennedy Space Center is very near.

Closest places for lodging are: Titusville, Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, and New Smyrna Beach.

By the way, the Caneveral National Seashore does charge an entrance fee, either daily or annual passes (Well worth it in my opinion if you are a frequent visitor as I am). Details on their web site: http://www.nps.gov/cana/
