Just got home. We spent Saturday and Sunday at Apollo. Saturday was hot with not much of a breeze, but today it was a bit cooler and breezy. Saturday was very busy and the crowd was a little lighter today, probably due to Mothers Day. We stayed at the Aloha last night. Can't wait to get back.

Tues, 5/11: As noted above, Sunday was a lighter than expected day but with the same 70% of single males vs. coed couples. Yesterday though, 4 single girls showed up (3 together)...and two today...a good trend!
After seeing 20+ mph winds and blownout umbrellas on Sunday we started looking for the portable 30" high windbreaks some beachgoers use to good advantage. After scouring all of the sleazy swimshops and Wal Mart to no avail we learned today that Coronado Hardware is the ONLY outfit in NSB that carries them -- and we bought the last one in stock, since the winds are returning tomorrow.
Even thought NASA's not launching until Friday afternoon, Lot 5 was closed for the entire week effective yesterday a.m. In the past we've been removed from Lot 5 24 hrs beforehand, but hey, most of us like the beach at Lot 4 better anyway. .....and you couldn't have asked for a nicer beach day than yesterday -- 79 deg., no humidity, cloudless sky, and a gentle 8 mph breeze. It started changing today -- the winds and clouds are increasing and the temps will rise to 89 deg. by the time we leave on Saturday. ....but who's complaining??? LOL

Aloha is located 1 mile north of the entrance to the park. It is not a fancy place but clean and friendly we have been staying their for about 10 years for a week in April. It is a mom and pa type place, We like room G which is on the secound floor

I'll 2nd that about the Aloha. In fact, it's where I'm posting this from. We just got in today around noon. We didn't go into the park because the traffic was crazy, so we watched the launch from the beach across the street. We're looking forward to hitting the beach early tomorrow morning.

5/13: our last day on the beach. Lot 5 closed, of course, and the "veterans" suggested going to the left (north) from Lot 4's stairs in order to avoid having to move later when the rangers made everyone move north of the stairs just before the launch. Well, today when we arrived at 7:45 a.m. Lot 4 was already full (!) so we went to Lot 3 and hiked 1/3 mile south. About 10-12 of us created a nude area about 300 yds. long. It was the best of all alternatives. Very little textile cross-traffic and we watched the launch in the buff from our beach chairs at the water's edge. One hour later we had the beach to ourselves....no one within 1/2 mile of us...and we left around 4:00 p.m. looking forward to returning next year, if not sooner. What a great 10 days!

It sound like a great place and hope to visit soon. some people have mentioned fishing from the beach is there plces that are off limits to fishing, such as the nude bathing area. We really want to combine a naked fishing trip.

It just depends if you want to hull your fishing stuff that far down the beach. I have seen some people do it.

Fishing is a mixed bag. I like to spincast and that works best if there are top or middle feeders (pompano, jacks) in the surf. That wasn't the case during my last visit....maybe the water hadn't warmed up enough. Most surf fishermen on the Canaveral Seashore use bait and I saw mixed results with small 12-13" whiting being caught with rods sized like elephant guns.
There's no really good reason for fish to spend much time off the Canaveral beaches except for the stuff that washes down to them on ebbing tides.....there's no habitat and the water is really shallow, like waist deep 100 ft. from shore at high tide. The beach off Lot 5 seems to have the steepest dropoff and that's where most surf fishers go. If you're serious about catching fish, charter an offshore boat with a guide.

There was some whiting being caught the last couple of days in the surf at lot 4, but not much size to them. One guy also had a really nice Pompano on Thursday. I love to fish, but we bring so much stuff as it is that I bought a beach cart. I don't know if I'd have room for a rod (I'm a spincast man myself) & tacklebox to go along with the chairs, cooler and umbrellas. Today was our last day at Apollo. We got here on the 14th and with the exception of Monday's rain, the weather was fantastic.

Thanks for the info guys, we are not that good at fishing, Mostly just enjoy the time spent doing it. I am looking into a cart, because like you say, with the cooler, chairs, towels and such it will be needed.

I'm considering a drive across the state to Apollo Beach tomorrow (Sunday). Before spending $40 in gas, what are the CNS locals' feelings on the weather? Should I save the cash for another weekend?
