Yes sir. Right at (28.228107, -80.599391) there is a small path that is wide enough to get a catamaran through on cat trax. It has eroded quite a bit in the past year but is still doable with 2 people and some momentum. The water is mostly clear of rocks. We try to go out at high tide but haven't hit anything at low tide either.
Just don't park in the grass. We usually unload the boat near the path and then drive the trailer over to the small parking lot to the North.

Also, I have heard Fisher Park in Cocoa is a good place to put in. It is busier and costs $5 though.

Anyone been to Fischer Park yet? I may be going Saturday.
Everyone is welcome to join if you're in the area and want to do some ocean sailing.

How was Fischer Park?
Considering river storage as an alternative. Is there a secure (security cams would be a huge plus - a few years ago, had a boat and trailer stolen right out of my condo parking area AND it was locked) and easy to store and launch place along the Banana River Central to South Brevard area?
