Cape Canaveral, incorporated in 1963, is a small oceanfront city on the barrier island next to Port Canaveral and the nation's spaceport. Its beaches are public year-round, with free parking at many street-end crossovers and Mobi-Mat accessible paths at several of them. Community life centers on spots such as Canaveral City Park and the city's monthly Friday Fest street festival.
