Beach parks + lagoon recreation

Satellite Beach & Indian Harbour Beach local guide.

Pair Satellite Beach's public ocean accesses with Indian Harbour Beach's Canova, Gleason Park and lagoon-side recreation for an easy beachside day.

Satellite Beach has an unusually strong public-beach network, including Pelican and Hightower plus numerous dune crossovers. Indian Harbour Beach immediately to the south adds Canova Beach Park, Gleason Park and Oars & Paddles Park.

This is a recreation-first stretch of beachside Brevard. Choose the ocean, the Banana River or a city park, then use A1A and Eau Gallie Boulevard for food and the evening.

Put the outing together.

Step 1

Choose your beach

Pick Pelican, Hightower or Canova based on the facilities and type of outing you want.

Step 2

Switch sides of the island

Use Gleason Park or Oars & Paddles Park when you want a lagoon-side break from the ocean.

Step 3

Keep dinner nearby

Stay on beachside or head west over Eau Gallie Causeway into EGAD for a fuller nightlife plan.
