Directions;
From the west: Take the North or South Causeway east. Proceed north on Peninsula Drive for two to three miles.

On the estuary side look for assorted shorebirds, especially during lower tidal phases while gulls terns and gannets can be seen diving for baitfish

Canaveral Seashore is a sandy bottom surf zone with little or no structure other than a trough that forms just offshore of the beach break and a sandbar that rises past the trough, followed by another trough and deeper water, though not as deep as the waters farther south near Sebastain Inlet. The predominate species caught are whiting, pompano, bluefish, spanish mackerel, black drum and redfish. It is not known as a consistent producer of snook and tarpon.
