Driving Tour of Canaveral National Seashore from New Smyrna Beach
From the sun-sentinal.com
North Entrance: Apollo Beach, Turtle Mound and Historic Eldora
The north entrance from New Smyrna Beach is the road less travelled, though it offers diverse recreation and historical sites. Parking is prohibited except in designated lots. On busy weekends or holidays, arrive early.
Surf-fishers are first to arrive (Lots 2-4). Near-shore sandbars there corral fish on outgoing tides, giving you a leg up when casting into rip currents between sandbars.
Near the entrance, visit Turtle Mound, a prehistoric archaeological site where native Timucuan Indians discarded their shells for centuries. Turtle is the largest shell midden in the country, 600 feet long and rising 50 feet. A viewing platform offers sweeping panoramas of dunes, beaches and the islands of the Indian River Lagoon.
Kayaks, paddle-boards and canoes can be launched here, or at several other designated areas.
A few miles south, take the turnoff to Eldora and drive slowly through subtropical tree hammocks to the Eldora State House, once the center of a small agricultural community. The State House has been restored with a museum showcasing the history of the area.
Paddling in the lagoon here is paradise. I love to snake between islands in search of oyster bars and clam beds where I can cast a line in the hunt for tailing redfish.

What Happened to Eldora? Visiting a Seaside Florida Ghost Town | ChadGallivanter
Few people know about the little town of Eldora along the mid-Atlantic coast of Florida. For a time in the late 19th century, it was a booming little place. But its fortunes changed thanks to a series of unfortunate events and Eldora faded away over time. In today's vlog, I explore Eldora's fascinating history and visit the one structure from the town that's still standing.

We visit Eldora again, hoping the building is open. Guess we have to do it our next trip. Eldora is on the grounds of Canaveral National Seashore. We camped at Long Branch Point, Sebastian Inlet, Florida and pull in at dusk.
