Canaveral National Seashore is comprised of 58,000 acres. Three quarters of that is within Mosquito Lagoon which is a part of the Indian River Lagoon system. Visit Apollo Beach or Playalinda Beach for a day at the beach. Explore the historic Turtle Mound or Seminole Rest Historic Site both home to large Timucuan shell mounds. Where ever your adventure takes you be prepared and have fun!

We hope you will find Canaveral National Seashore to be a recreational paradise with its back-country camping, horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking, hiking, fishing, surfing, swimming, boating and birdwatching opportunities.
As you pass through this National Park area with its barrier island, open lagoon, coastal hammock, pine flatwoods and offshore waters, it is our hope that you will be enticed to linger in this environment of old Florida to view an endangered woodstork feeding along a roadside canal, or catch a glimpse of the West Indian Manatee near the Eldora State House.
We hope you experience the great variety of extraordinary natural and cultural resources and memorable experiences that await you at Canaveral National Seashore.
