Playalinda Beach

Undeveloped and undressed

Playalinda Beach (sometimes written as Playa Linda or Playa Lynda) lies along Canaveral National Seashore approximately two hours Northeast of Tampa. While nude bathing isn't legal here, this stretch of beach is secluded enough to remove your bathing suit unnoticed. Undeveloped, this paradise isn't just for nudists. Nature lovers will also enjoy its untouched beauty. To protect this fragile environment, stick to the boardwalks that run from the parking areas to the beach.

Where exactly is the nude beach near New Smyrna. My wife and I have heard of a couple places, we are from NC so any help is welcomed

Those signs are posted by Brevard County - NOT the federal government. The last most spot on the beach, where you can no longer drive even if it were possible, is the only spot where it is permitted - on the beach and NOT outside the boardwalk. I went there today (7/18/2009) and a U.S. Wildlife ranger set outside that beach spot and never got out of the car. So long as you reclothe yourself before you walk back onto the boardwalk, you're good. The only 100% worry-free and legal nude beach in Florida is Haulover Beach near Miami. But as I said, follow these minor steps and you'll have no problems (I was there for 3 hours btw).

Are pets on leashes allowed on the beach?

I have heard that nudity was not permitted on Playalinda Beach any longer and that was being inforced. We were there a year or so ago and signs were posted at the parking area at the end of the road saying No Nudity. Has that changed?
