History
Cape Canaveral’s beaches run along a barrier island that has seen centuries of maritime use and modern visibility because of nearby rocket launches shaping local identity.
Conservation
Use reef-safe sunscreen and avoid stepping on exposed seagrass or shellbeds; coastal dunes and nesting shorebirds rely on undisturbed stretches of sand.
