Playalinda Beach, Atlantic beach in Canaveral National Seashore, Florida.
The beach extends along 4 miles of natural shoreline with undeveloped sandy dunes and native vegetation between the Atlantic Ocean and Mosquito Lagoon.
Originally designated for NASA's Launch Complex 39 pads C, D, and E, the land transferred to the National Park Service in 1975 as Canaveral National Seashore.
Local surfers frequent this section of coastline, which also serves as a strategic observation point during rocket launches from nearby Kennedy Space Center.
The beach opens daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM, with entrance fees of $25 per vehicle, $20 for motorcycles, and $15 for pedestrians or cyclists.
Parking area 13 maintains an informal clothing-optional status, while the beach occasionally closes for space launches from the adjacent Cape Canaveral facilities.
