Fun, Sun and local stuff guidebook

Waze and GPS will take you to I-95 North to SR 44, make a right and head down all the way to the beach. The back way is going via Ridgewood Ave. Leave our house and go to Indian River (SR 442). Make a right (east) to Ridgewood Ave. Turn left. Ridgewood turns into US 1. Take that road to SR 44 and make a right. Go over the bridges to the beach. 44 turns into SR AIA. You avoid all the to from the beach heading to from I-95 or I-4.

The sand is hot at the beach so you will want to bring flip flops or sandals, a hat and an umbrella to shade you. Even if it is overcast you will get sun. You can get your beach essentials locally at Bealls Outlet which is on the way to the beach or Walmart is only 1 exit over off of I-95. If you go into the river or Menard park you will want to wear closed water shoes. Bring bug spray for sundown, an umbrella for shade as there is not a lot of shade. Central Florida is known for its afternoon rain showers. Don't let this discourage you. Check your weather app often.

I-95 is best 2 get U south then to the parks. Paid tolls may be worth your time-SR 417 or SR 429 in your GPS- avoid I-4 traffic during peak rush hours. Downtown Orlando and by Disney is the worst. Going I-4 south towards the parks during early morning hours and heading home north between 3 pm & 7 pm is a no no. Tolls will be put to your license plate and mailed to you or billed to your rental car unless you have a Sunpass/EZp. FYI: SR 429 runs north - south on the West side of downtown Orlando to the Disney area SR 417 runs north - south on the East side of downtown Orlando

At this time we do not have beach items for rent. Please bring beach towels, chairs and umbrella. These items can be purchased locally. Try Bealls on Ridgewood Ave and SR 442 or Walmart on SR 44 East of I-95.

Some evenings get cooler in the fall and winter. Depending on where you are from it may be a relief or sweater weather.
