Day trip to Atlantic Coast.

We've done a couple of trips to the coastline this trip, Paradise Beach and Cocoa Beach (park at Shepard beach not the pier, the facilities are much nicer. we also like Jetty park up that way and did a boat trip round Merritt Island (or the thousand islands they call them) where we saw lots of manatees and dolphins.

You cant get to the gift shop in kennedy without a ticket but can, as said, at the astronaut hall of fame and at MCO

Another request for rough directions and time needed, thanks

We always visit JETTY park when we want a beachday without driving too far. It is only a short drive from KSC, and very easy access back to Orlando on 528. It is a public beach with a small cafe and toilets.
You can also fish from the pier, and the beach is nice, with view to KSC on the other side of the bay.

Depends where in the Orlando Area you are staying. However from the airport take the 528 East and it will take you to the coast in the Canaveral/Cocoa Beach area - about 45 miles on a freeway - say 45 mins.
