apollo beach

This is out-of-the way enough that you can almost always find a quiet stretch of beach to have to yourself. No lifeguards. No cars on the beach. There is limited parking so you might need to stop at a different parking lot than you expected. Can be serene. Usually more fishermen than swimmers or sunbathers. May be a little windy.

Head down to lot number 5 to complete your get away from the crowds. As with the other designated parking areas, you will have a large deck/sitting area to look out and enjoy the ocean view. The beach is un-groomed and full of all types of shells both whole and crushed which makes up its unique blend of sand. And for the more adventurous . . . there is the clothing optional area of the beach if you go towards the South end. Just don't forget something soft to lay on down there because the sand can be a little rough on those delicate areas !

This is one of the two beaches in Florida with a legal nude beach. The beach is clothing optional at parking area # 5. The only place to get a good tan without tan lines. If you want a place to be nude to swim and sun bath this is it.

Part of the National Park System. Long undeveloped slip of land and waterways that are part of the park system. We went in January and there were no crowds. Just lots of quiet beach with some historical tours. Loved it. Great for the over 50 group

Really beautiful and remote location. It's clothing-optional past a certain point, and it's getting more popular with that crowd. So, don't go if the sight of naked old people bothers you, because you will see some of that. Still, a beautiful spot for those in the right mindset.

Glad to see it hasn't changed much since I first started going 28+ years ago. I grew up about an hour's drive away and discovered Apollo when I was about 20.I've been there on the 4th of July & Memorial Day holidays, and have seen nudists at every parking area. The parking areas are spread out so far from each other that it's easy to find someplace that isn't very crowded and relax au natural. Just don't flaunt in front of the crowds & kids. If somebody does happen to walk by, oh well. You're not breaking any laws.As for other comments about the drop-off when entering the surf at high tide, it's been that way forever (I'm 47 now). There's a sandbar a little ways out. You'll go from waist deep to ankle deep, and then that's where the gentle slope starts.That tidal pool is WONDERFUL to bask in at low tide! Take LOTS of SPF 30 or 50 with you!Take the lotion, a couple beach towels, and a cooler with drinks & snacks & you'll have a great time.....clothed or not!

Pro's and ConsCon: You must get up early to get a parking spot for lot #5.Pro-If you get a parking spot, the beach is clean, beautiful and clothing optional. I feel like this is my little piece of Paradise and freedom.

Parking is very limited. Wide open space. Very HOT Day so did not stay long. Will return next time in the area.

Seems the bane of high tides, bugs and rude people eluded us on out first trip here. The fact that parking area 5 leads to a clothing optional beach isn't well sign posted and parking is very limited, however, we lucked out and had a car leave within minutes if arriving. The beach itself is clean and pristine. The people are there to enjoy the beach a al natural. That's it. Bring supplies and water and just in case, bug spray. I will certainly visit agin.

Had a GREAT day at Apollo Beach. CLOTHING OPTIONAL - totally legal. Clear, clean ocean water. Very quiet and peaceful. The middle of nowhere. Only CONS - very little parking and no "running water" in the bathrooms. I will return.

Besides the getting bite up getting out of car it was a great 1st experience to a nude beach . Already planning trip back .

Nice beach area. The only negative, and there is nothing to be done about it, was that the no-see-ums were horrible in the early morning, so you had to wait until mid-morning to go.

Had a great tanning experience here...lol Not sure if clothing optional or what here, saw both. No drive beach. It is the end of Seashore National Park.

Shells galore! Peace and quiet, nature at its finest. Enjoyed my day on this beautiful peace of Florida coastline. Wish there were at least foot showers, that is my only complaint.

Spent a wonderful day on this uncrowded beach, plenty of shells to pick and perfect water! Part of the Canaveral National Sea Shore.
