Madison Ave Beach Access

One of my favorite beach accesses in Cape Canaveral, a good spot to park when Cheri Down Beach Park is packed. There are about 15 FREE parking spots (like all of Cape Canaveral's E-W president streets), but no facilities (although it is only 3 blocks N to the facilities at Cheri Down). On the beach crossover, there is a small memorial to upstanding Cape Canaveral citizen and all-around good guy Duane Shaw, who sadly passed away during Hurricane Matthew. Stop by to see why this was Duane's favorite spot.
Madison fun fact(s): At 5'4" and ~100 lbs, Madison, our smallest president, was often described as weak and sickly, but he outlived not one, but two vice presidents (RIP George Clinton and Elbridge Gerry), and he finished his 2nd term with no 2nd in command.
