Overview

Edit

Cherie Down Park spot is in Cape Canaveral. There is a large parking area. This spot offers a wide beach at low tide. It is a popular launch site for kiters and windsurfers. The park offers bathrooms and showers. This is a good spot on an ENE because the jetty blocks some of the chops and spreads the waves out! It also a fairly populated park with a lifeguard area.
There are fees for day parking and camping at Jetty Park. For cars, day parking is $7.00. Camping fees range from $25 to $47, depending on the utilities included and the season.

Dangers

This spot can get very crowded on weekends and holidays. Avoid kiting around crowds and find an alternate spot. DO NOT KITE IN THE LIFEGUARD ZONE.

It is your responsibility to check whether kitesurfing is allowed at the spot; you might need a 'special permit' or membership from a local kite organization, etc. Local rules can change. Respect others - kiters or not; kite safely and enjoy the wind!
