Port Canaveral Shore Excursions
Jetty Park
Jetty Park is a lovely oceanfront park that encompasses a beach, a playground, picnic areas, pavilions and camping grounds. The pier is a great hit with both walkers and fishermen as it offers great views of marine traffic going to/from Port Canaveral, and also excellent fishing for redfish, common jacks and tarpon. The long sandy ocean-facing beach offers many facilities including year-round lifeguards, easy parking, freshwater showers and restrooms. The park is operated by the Port Authority, and is situated next to the port’s exit channel.
