Beachside Park
"Picnic Tables"
Patrick Air Force Base
Directions:
The park is located about a mile north of the Air Force base on A1A and about 3 miles north of the Pineda Causeway. If traveling from Cocoa Beach, the park is about 6 miles south of State Road 520 and the Ron Jons Store. It is about one mile south of the point where the separated northbound and southbound lanes of A1A merge. Although there is no identification, the park is known as Picnic Tables by most surfers and does have a large picnic pavilion just to the north of the parking area.
The location is identified on the East Central Florida Windsurfer's Google map of launch locations which is available here. Once you select "PAB Picnic Tables", you can request directions to that location.
