Went by there yesterday at noon. They are clearing out the Brazilian Pepper Plants, removing much of the cover. Saw some people fishing, but nothing happening. Does anyone cruise this spot anymore?

Ok this is how a good spot gets ruined, by posting & reposting directions to the location. If some one needs directions send it to them on their cruise email. I'm sure the police check this site for info.. I have visited another location listed here and noticed the blacked out windowed cars parked in the area. Lowand behold they where on the news that night with a bust. Just becareful.. ;o)

Ok, found the place. From A1A northbound take the green port exit (first one if going north anyway). Turn right, then take the first left onto Dave Nishett Dr. Follow that to Mullett road and turn left. Follow that road along a1a until you pass scorpions new port mariana. This is the drawbridge area, here you have a nice boat dock and parking area. Mainly fisherman and stuff but there is a bathroom. If you continue to drive under the drawbridges and follow the road (winds a bit) you end up at the port canaveral locks. The road right in front of the locks has fisherman parking (think 528) where you can park and go into the mangroves and "fish". The locks are actually kind of cool in their own right but dunno didnt get the feeling that it woudl be very cruisy at least during the day. Not sure what the "rules" are about being in the area at night. When I get my bike out of the shop I will go explore after hours a bit. Ciao.

Hey there, got some directions that I cant follow until Wed but thought I would post see if anyone follows em before I do. Apparently take a1a north to the first port canaveral exit (the green one not the blue one), then take the first left, then take another left right away. Supposedly then you follow this road for awhile and it leads you around to the locks that are near the draw bridge. Also a boat launch nearby. I will verify and update later this week when I have a chance.
