From Sams Discount Club in Melbourne at hwy 192 near I-95, take 192 East through Melbourne to hwy A1A. Turn right on A1A and drive south 6.1 miles. Look for a kiosk on the West side of the road at the Coconut Point trailhead across the Highway from the Ponce de Leon Park. The trail is 0.75 miles long and terminates on Hwy A1A at the 6.3 mile mark. The second trail is 10.2 miles from the 192 - A1A junction, on the West side of the road and is named Maritime Hammock Trail. It is a two mile loop ending as before on A1A at the 10.4 mile point.The Barrier Island trail starts across the highway from Bonsteel Park at the fourteen mile point from 192. It is a 0.5 mile loop to the river around and back to A1A across from the new EEL'S Visitor Center. The palmetto scrub visible from the highway quickly gives way to spectacular tropical forest on all three trails. Good everythinging!
