About

Playalinda: #9 is a beach on the Canaveral National Seashore in Florida, about 11.5 miles from the town of Mims. It's a numbered access point on the seashore's shoreline, one of the many ways the national park unit opens the coast to visitors. Spring is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Titusville show March highs around 75°F with lows near 56°F, while summer brings highs near 89°F and rain on about 14 days a month from June through September. For a change from the sand, the Merritt Island Trail National Wildlife Refuge Trail lies about 8.3 miles away and offers a hiking option close to the seashore.
