Diver2014 Posted August 27, 2021 #27 Share Posted August 27, 2021 We've camped at Jetty Park campground a couple of times in our RV just so we can watch the ships go in and out. And, the beach is beautiful. Lots of people there during the day for sunbathing and swimming. But as said before, Pt Canaveral is a sail out of port, not a sail into port. If you want to visit the Kennedy Space Center, come a day early or stay a day later. It's an hour by car to Disney. We're heading to Disney in February since it's been a few years since we've been there. If you are concerned about covid or social distancing, best stay home. Life is normal no matter now the main stream media paints Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the money you pay. You spend more time on the bus than in the park. Years ago we split 4 days in Orlando and 4 days on a cruise from Port Canaveral. I remember the long drive during Love Bug season. Disney is a trip in itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pstone1 Posted August 28, 2021 #41 Share Posted August 28, 2021 There are a lot of things to do from Port Canaveral if you take the time to look. Brevard County is home to the Indian River Lagoon, one of the most biodiverse estuaries in North America. There are also eco-cruises, and multiple vendors that offer Stand-Up Paddle Boarding, Parasailing, jet ski rentals, etc. in Cocoa Beach. Brevard Zoo and Viera Wetlands (a very popular spot for birders), are approximately 30 minutes away by Uber or taxi. You could also visit Cocoa Village, a quaint shopping area about 20 minutes away, with many restaurants and micro-breweries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emeraldcity Posted August 28, 2021 #46 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Absolutely do the space center if you haven't been there recently. I originally visited in the 70's and it's quite an upgrade from what I experienced then. We spent at least three hours there and I could have spent longer, but we just got tired. It was quite the walk down memory lane as you experienced all over again the history of space travel. It kept triggering memories of what I was doing when I heard these actual events over the radio as a kid or saw the tracking of various space flights on TV.
