Matanzas Beach

Beautiful! This inlet has free pkg lot on beach side and inlet side. Peaceful and not too busy. Beautiful sunsets, gorgeous white sand. Amazing flora and fauna and dunes. Locates just North of the bridge is my favorite spot, on the beach/inlet, from Jacksonville to Titusville along A1A. I absolutely love it! Definitely worth checking out. The only negative is a bit of vehicle noise from the bridge. Also, Fort Mantanzas is 1 minute drive away. It's a free tourist attraction to see the for on the inlet. You take a small ferry to the fort. Just need to reserve your free tickets. You must show up, in person, to the fort office to reserve tickets for that days ferries. Check online for more info. I'm all about FREE activities as I'm a poor traveling pet/house sitter. Enjoy the pictures. I will try and attach a video.

We spent the day on the inland side of the bridge over the Matanzas inlet on A1A. We were in view of the Fort. Beautiful quiet day with the dogs fishing the channels around the sand bar. We saw a personal hydrofoil that looked like fun. Great place to spend a day and unwind.

Very nice beach. Although I did not drive on beach it is car accessible. I think there may be a charge but your car is right next to you. After the hurricane last year the shore line is smaller and if you go all the way to the south exit the beach is gone. Beach us still pretty good to drive for now

We had a great time swimming here. There are no restrooms or buildings, but there is across the way. The tides were rough, but we found quite a few cool shells. We also came across a sea turtle egg nest....
