Apollo Beach sits at the far northern end of Canaveral National Seashore, part of the longest stretch of undeveloped Atlantic coastline in Florida (24 miles). The sand is distinctively cinnamon-colored from crushed coquina shells. A true wilderness surf experience with shifting sandbars and no development — near-zero crowds, but also no lifeguards and limited amenities.
