Brevard Beach Closure News Update

The following is from State Rep. Randy Fine's FB Page:

03/27/2020 11:00am - "The Brevard County Commission just voted to overturn the Brevard Policy Board's decision to close relevant beaches from 11-4 today through Sunday, by a vote of 4 to 1. My understanding is that Cocoa Beach and Satellite Beach will remain closed during those times, under decisions made by their local jurisdictions, as is Sebastian Inlet State Park 24x7, at the decision of the State, and Canaveral National Seashore 24x7, at the decision of the Federal Government. The following beaches will remain open: beaches in unincorporated Brevard, Melbourne Beach, Indialantic, Melbourne, Indian Harbor Beach, and Cape Canaveral."

03/27/2020 2:00pm - BEACH CLOSURE UPDATE - Melbourne Beach and Indialantic beaches are closed, effective immediately, 11-4 Friday to Sunday, after which time they will re-assess.

To summarize:

Open normally:

  • Cape Canaveral
  • Indian Harbor Beach
  • Melbourne
  • Unincorporated Brevard

Closed 11-4 Friday to Sunday

  • Cocoa Beach
  • Satellite Beach
  • Indialantic
  • Melbourne Beach

Closed indefinitely during the pandemic

  • Canaveral National Seashore
  • Sebastian Inlet State Park
