Camp at Cape Canaveral National Seashore

What could be better than laying on soft sand, listening to the crashing waves, and gazing at Florida's best sun and stars? Cape Canaveral National Seashore has 14 primitive campsites, with only two of them on the beach and the other twelve located on Mosquito Lagoon.

Hike Castle Windy Trail at Canaveral National Seashore

Park across the road from the trailhead and visit the Atlantic ocean before crossing onto the Castle Windy Trail. The trail is shaded and a breeze is ever-present.

One could spend hours on th...

Hike through the Econ River Wilderness Area

The Econ River Wilderness Trail is a largely unnoticed section of preserved land, although it is just 1.5 miles away from University of Central Florida and nestled between residential communities. This trail might not be the most interesting or dramatic trail in all of Central Florida, but what always intrigued me most was the variety of flora that you see in such a short hike. This trail has...
