Food scene

Classic seafood shack on the beach. Sandy wood floors, best burger in Central Florida and hardworking waitstaff. Try to grab a table by the window or a bar seat facing the ocean. This is NSB’s favorite spot.

Canaveral National Seashore protects a 24-mile barrier island off the coast of Florida, creating what has become the state’s longest stretch of undeveloped beach. Beaches at each end of the park—Apollo in the north and Playalinda in the south—are accessible by vehicle (bridges connect the island to the mainland). A park road runs the length of each, and the beaches can be accessed from one of the many parking areas along the roads. Due to its proximity to the Kennedy Space Center, a huge tourist draw, and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, Playalinda Beach is much busier than Apollo Beach.
