![]() ![]() There was a posting at one of the parking areas that lists common legal offenses and their fines and / or punishment, and nudity is not on the list (parking on the grass and disturbing the wildlife are). In fact, the nude beach at Playalinda is much more popular than the one at Apollo, and nudity is legal at Apollo in Volusia County. When doing research on the topic, I found that articles on arrests and enforcement dried up after 2000, and today, from what I gather, unless you start having sex or are involved in other lewd behavior-violations that are more common than you might think-nobody is going to bother you. Arrests were made sporadically in the 1990s, but the sheriff made it clear that he and his men had better things to do than arrest naked people. Brevard County, where Playalinda Beach is located, had no anti-nudity laws for the first twenty years of the park’s existence, but such laws were enacted in 1995. When Canaveral National Seashore was created in 1975, the nude beach at Playalinda was well established. From reading online reviews, it sounds like most of the crowd is 50+ years old and the majority men.Ī nude beach exists in a National Park because the National Park Service follows state and county laws in regards to nudity since there is no federal law addressing the subject. I will say that most of the people I saw were aged hippies, none of whom I would care to see naked. You’ll have to check it out for yourself. I did not make a visit to the nude beach since I wasn’t planning to be nude, thus I can’t report more on it. Families that wander down to the end of the road should not find any surprises. You won’t see any naked people in the parking lot, and the beach is hidden behind the dunes. ![]() This is why I mentioned that the busiest parking lots are #12 and #13. On a busy day, parking for the nude beach can be backed up as far down as Parking Area #10, a half-hour walk to Beach #13, though in most cases you can get a spot at least at Parking Area #12. There are only 45 parking spaces at Beach #13, and by the time I arrived the place was packed. Playalinda Beach #12 at Canaveral National Seashore (check out the couple at the top left)
