was at Apollo Beach Labor Day week. the paving is finished and looks good. wish they had made the parking lot at 5 bigger ....but no
anyway was very enjoyable except for Saturday. the wife suggested we get up early and go to the beach to see the sunrise au natural.
well sounded good to me so we get up early...checked out of the hotel...headed down to Lot 5. as soon as I opened the door I was attacked by a million mosquitos well we managed to get to the beach and there was no breeze and everyone was swatting mosquitos and gnats up until about 10 am....but I got to watch the sun rise while I was naked on the beach

Hi David - besides the mosquitos, it sounded like a great way to start the day.

Mosquitos will definitely put a crimp on your day considering how large a target area they have.

Perhaps you could set up a mosquito net and watch from inside it.

yes we really did enjoy the day. my wife said "all I wanted to do was have a leisurely morning watching the sunrise on the beach naked"
lol well we didn't relax much but we walked steadily as we watched, so we got exercise and was able to be on the beach at sunrise naked
It will not stop me I don't think

...been awhile since any posts here so let's get things going! We'll be in NSB May 8-18 and plan lots of daily beach time interrupted by evening pilgrimages to our usual dinner spots whenever we're not barbecuing at our villa. Our favorites are The Breakers (great burger$), Cafe Verde, Lost Lagoon, and Toni & Joe's. Pity about the Dolphin View's closing. We'll also be taking in the classic car show downtown NSB on May 13. This is probably our 12th year at Apollo, but who's counting?  Trip report to follow.

I was there the 1st of April, eat at Ocean seafood. In past year also eat at Ma Mai Mexican restaurant and Black Beards. Always stay at the Aloha Motel and apartments not fancy but affordable

Been ages since we've been to the Nat'l seashore. Have in mind to fix that. Here's what I have in mind. It would be a kindness if you'd reply with any corrections/warnings or improvements/suggestions you might have.
We'd probably stop in Daytona for dinner (Bubba Gumps probably) and then stay overnight (August 2nd, a Wednesday) in New Smyrna Beach. Would b'fast before going into Canaveral. There's a launch scheduled from the Cape between 9:02 and 9:42am. It would be great to be there to watch au natural. I'm not very sun-tolerant, so we'd probably be gone by 10am.
What's going to go wrong? How early might we need to arrive at Lot 5 to park and access the c/o section? Does the launch (it is unmanned and a weekday morning) draw enough people to make this unworkable? Does it even draw enough textiles that on launch days nude is unwise?
Thanks for the help!

What could go wrong??....sounds like you want to bkfst in NSB then go into Canaveral -- hope you mean the seashore and not the cape. With some previous launches NASA showed up at Lot 5 with trucks and observers the day before a launch and we all had to vacate to Lot 4 for the remainder of that day and all of the launch day. You might want to check with the Park staff to see if that's still happening. Re the presence of textiles.....if you're in the nude section of Lot 5's beach, no problem, but being a launch day, there might be a crowd of textiles in that area too. Normally arriving by 8:00 Wednesdays gets you one of the few remaining parking spaces. Hard to say what'll happen on a launch day.

I suggest getting up early. Driving down to Titusville. Have breakfast there. There is some decent and cheap places. Go out to beach 13 at playalinda beach. Its the nude area and watch the launch. I have seen a couple launches from there.

Playalinda would be about 12 miles closer to the launch than Apollo as long as they don't close for the launch.

Thanks for the replies. Should have come back much quicker than I have. Got put off some by the fact that the launch got delayed to Aug 20th. Aug 21st is the total solar eclipse and I just don't see us doing that much traveling back-to-back days, so it's probably going to be either/or rather than both. Not sure which yet. Your replies will be helpful when decision time arrives.

No messages to this site since Diger's last July? Well, to get things going we'll be arriving Monday afternoon and beaching it every day until the 16th. The weather outlook is excellent.
Looking forward to having at least one burger dinner at the Breakers and, of course, the Taco Shack. Now that the wife has a Beall's credit card some close supervision will be needed.
