Any one have any summer plans they would like to share?
We are going to take advantage of the 4th of July holiday. We are going to stay at Jetty Park at Port Canaveral near Cocoa Beach. We will be heading there after work in July 2nd and will stay until the morning of July 7th. This is my favorite place to stay. On the east side of the campground is the beach and the north side is the shipping channel for Port Canaveral. I love watching the cruise ships coming in and out of the port. The park is a gem for residents of Brevard county. They have a huge open area with a bunch of pavilions you can rent on the channel. $25 for the whole day for a pavilion that would accommodate 6-8 people. They also have camping sites right on the shipping channel. The only bad thing about the channel sites is they have water only and are slopped forward towards the channel. I mostly see class As and large fifth wheels parking there running their generators (especially in July in Florida). I am afraid that Jetty Park might be a thing of the past soon as I have heard rumors that the port is trying to sell it to developers. It would be a perfect spot for expensive condos. So we will enjoy it while we can.
The port has fireworks on July 3rd and on July 4th we always walk out of the beach after dark. You can see fireworks for miles down the beach at night.
