Playalinda: Eddy's Creek
About
Playalinda: Eddy's Creek is a beach on Canaveral National Seashore in Florida, about 12 miles from the town of Mims. It's a stretch of shoreline within the national seashore, and the closest nearby outing is the Merritt Island Trail National Wildlife Refuge Trail, about 8 miles away. For comfortable weather, aim for late fall through spring. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Titusville show January highs around 70°F and lows near 50°F, with only six or seven wet days a month from February through April. Summer runs hotter and wetter, with highs near 89°F and about 14 wet days a month in July and August. That station sits at just 3 feet of elevation, so temperatures along the beach may run slightly cooler.
