Canaveral National Seashore is Closing to Implement Latest Health Guidance

Titusville/New Smyrna Beach– Canaveral National Seashore is announcing it will cease operations to implement the latest guidance from the White House, Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), and local and state authorities to promote social distancing. All access to the beaches within Canaveral National Seashore will be closed to the public. This step is also in accordance with Brevard County that will close public parking and beachside parks.

The health and safety of our visitors, employees, volunteers, and partners at Canaveral National Seashore  is our number one priority. The National Park Service (NPS) is working with the federal, state, and local authorities to closely monitor the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) situation. We will notify the public when we resume full operations and provide updates on our website and social media channels.  

Updates about NPS operations will be posted on www.nps.gov/coronavirus. Please check with www.nps.gov/cana and social media @canaveralnatlseashore for specific details about park operations.
