James H. Nance Park — Attraction in Indialantic

One of our favorite spots in regard to Indiatlantic Beach. The playground may be slightly dated, but there's lots of fun to be had there. The beach is clean most all of the time. There are different food options close by. It can get pretty busy on the weekend, but not unbearable. Parking is metered, so be sure to bring quarters; or if you're a frequent visitor, reduce your stress of "how much time is left?!?" on the meter by purchasing an adorable annual parking pass for all meters in Indiatlantic Beach. Do not, I repeat -- Do Not let your meter run out as you stand about a two percent chance of not receiving a ticket (we've witnessed many folks being cited.) That being said, we all enjoy seeking out our favorite meter maid just to say, "hello!" She encounters a good bit of guff from folks who find her doing her job, but she's one of the nicest ladies we've met there.

If they could install the canopies above the playground equipment, it would absolutely be five stars! Equipment is beautiful, there are swings, slides, musical equipment, communication boards, picnic tables (those are covered), restrooms, sand volleyball courts, metered parking available and the best part is that your just a few steps away...

One of the best beaches in Brevard County, with a nice playground (plus a new addition under construction and nearly completed), restrooms with changing area, several outdoor showers, and large pavilion area with picnic tables. You can swim here and not get shredded by coquina rocks, which is not the case as you head north to Satellite/Patrick area at a number of parks or beaches with public access. Between posted hours, lifeguards are on duty within the boundaries of the parks property. Parking on the weekends is 2.50/hr, using the several terminals or by downloading the Passport parking app, which allows you to use debit, credit or Apple Pay. There are some great restaurants and shops within walking distance and of course, the original Bizarros Pizza, which beachside natives and locals automatically associate with...
