Apollo Beach: #3

Florida

About

Apollo Beach #3 is a beach within Canaveral National Seashore in Florida, about 2.4 miles from the town of Oak Hill. It is a shoreline stop rather than a trail, so there is no climbing or distance to plan around. For comfortable beach weather, spring is a good bet: typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 73°F in March to about 79°F in April. Summer is warmer, with July and August highs in the upper 80s, and October cools to around 82°F. Two short walks start close by. Castle Windy Trail is just 0.1 mile away, and AD Eldora Hammock Trail is about a mile off.
