This is a fun little park! They have a dock that goes fairly far out into the river. I see fishermen a lot.Ive also seen multiple manatees swim right under the dock when I went there.It has a beautiful view of the river. It would be nice if the park were a bit larger though and the roads were paved better.
Lots of homeless but they dont bother park patrons and keep to themselves. Excellent atmosphere, the dock is nice for fishing and there are multiple picnic tables. I had no trouble getting a table near the water.
I love it and castaway Park.I just wish that they would cut the shrubbery so we can see the water better and have more parking.
It looks a lot better but the smell from the water can still be taking care of
Beautiful Park. There are 2 permanent homeless residents who live here under the pavilion. They sleep on the tables and the daily bread supplies all their meals. Does not make me want to bring my family here. Great for dolphin watching, SUP, kayaking and a little beach area for hanging and fishing, even a fish cleaning station. Some landscaping issues..weeds growing on the walkways and docks etc..overall a little gem.
We were there to do a marine biology research project with our students and found a little niche where birds soar and fish bite and breezes blow. There is a boardwalk we saw some people take but we didnt so I cant say for sure but the maintenance staff was enthusiastic and do a good job keeping it up.
What a great place to brings kids. The beach area is clean. It has a covered picnic area and grills available. Offers fishing from two piers. I bring my three kids here all the time. We all love it the water is cool and clear. My boys like to snorkel here and catch blue Crabs which are alot of fun to catch. Fishing here is great and lots of wildlife so far my family has seen dolphins, manatees, and all kinds of birds.
Great place to go and enjoy urself... Love feeding the squirrels ...
It so pretty and secluded! There are grills, a little dock, benches and parking. Fun for little get to get-togethers.
A really nice view of the river nice shaded area needs to be cleaned up a little bit
A nice place to relax...with family and friends
Its a nice park for fishing and perhaps playing in the river, as there is a sandy beach. It has a lot of potential. It desperately needs cleaning and maintenance and it seems to be a preferred place for irresponsible fishermen, as there were dead fish, tackle, and trash scattered around the shoreline.
Nice shore side park lots of picnic tables.
Always love it here. My favorite place to go to think and relax with the kids.
Good place to fish & good hangout spot no overnight parking unfortunately...
Great place to walk but in spot have scattered plastics and papers.
Really like this place a lot then living here 10 years and I go there so many times
Love the water here you can walk forever and be knee deep. Nice pier always good birdwatching!
Very relaxing to watch the waves and i also got to see dolphins
Its a great place for fishing & they have the sink & table to clean out the fishes u have caught, is very pretty & calm tranquility.
Its always good to enjoy the water, dolphins and Manistee. But restrooms are still closed
Nice place to visit very peaceful.
Beautiful, quiet spot by the river. Could use a little clean up.
Such a peaceful slice of nature right off US1. Great for fishing too! 90% chance youll Dolphins, manatees, birds etc. Its a great spot to grill out with family also. Lets keep it this way!
A beautiful spot to just hang out. A decent place to fish of the dock since there is a cutting board and a place to wash hands. Also a few places to sit on. The water is low so you are mostly catching catfish and seaweed around here with dead bait.
Once you clean up this little piece of heaven, its a great spot for a little photo shoot.
Nice clean place to fish and relax
A nice spark to hang out with friends and family
Small quaint park with many picnic pavilions.
Very nice place, Nice park shade,good relaxing area? I like this place.
Great place to hang out with my grand. The water and the variety of birds are fun to watch.
Awesome place to see dolphins, go fishing, and Great place to take pics!
Love it but bathroom need to be cleaned!
Awesome place for a fun day of good fishing
Very nice and relaxing park. It is not too big, most go there to fish and there are grills and tables out there for a cookout or picnic. You can go for a small walk, and it is perfect for reading.
Beautiful location for sunrise photography with lots of bird species
I use to like going to Castaway to fish and never had a problem with the homeless but this evening may stop me from ever going back! I took my father and as we sit in the pier fishing I noticed a group of the local vagrants squeezing in on my fathers fishing lures as his back was turned fishing! I made my scene and left. The real shame is the guys doing it were guys I had spoken to numerous different times over a 6 month period of fishing! These people are down there almost daily and they are scheming and using a beautiful park for their drugs!
A relaxing place to take walk and look at natures beauty.
I love this place! its so fun to walk near the water
Favorite place to go be at peace... I love this place...
Beautiful scenery! Great views of the Indian River. Although sometimes it feels a bit shady. I probably wouldnt go alone...
Very peaceful place! Especially in the early morning!
Always a nice visit. Great place for a picnic or watching the sunrise. Lots of fishing spots too .
Great place to go watch for manatees and dolphins. Nice to go and have a picnic or just quite time having a coffee and watching nature.
Tennis practice wall, and at least two courts. Not much for the toddler unfortunately.Great truck/trailer parking for the very well maintained launch ramps.
Very good place to getaway for a few days. The accommodation was great, clean, and sterile. Definitely got to return for another stay.
Secluded area, so i like it cause not many people come to eat.
Nice park to fish or just sit and enjoy the views. Great job Palm Bay.
Scerene cozy and relaxing. Safe and accessible trails and paths for all also wildlife sometime seem friendly.And a nice spot for a beautiful sunset.
Great place to fish and a peaceful spot to reflect.
Nice little grill and picnic area.
Bathrooms are closed found dead fish and a stingray.Plus to much people would not recommend this place. Because of Covid-19
Love this place. What a great place to relax or play.
Not a bad spot especially now that the bathrooms have been reopened
Alot of bums.. shady people sleeping in cars.. cops should patrol more often
Great place to walk, fish, set of kayaks or picnic. One of the best places in palm bay for photos. There is a grill and several picnic tables. Theres also a public restroom and handicapped parking.
Great place to visit cant wait to see it in the summer
Nice place to sit back and relax by the water. Can have cookouts. Go fishing from the 2 piers. There is also a fish cleaning station on the pier. They have restrooms.
Good place to meet a down to earth down on there luck.ppl
Very beautiful and peaceful. Its a great place to relax, fish, or get some cardio
Great views and some great Pokémon
Nice little park with picnic benches and a couple of piers
Favorite photograph location
Such a nice relaxing atmosphere, i love going there for a nice walk by the water
Nice place to relax and unwind!
I think this place has potential. It was covered with debree. Fishing line on the ground. My daughters foot was entangled. Not good for human or animal. We threw away a lot of fishing line that was on the ground. I was absolutely dismayed as to why such a lovely place would be left unmaintained.Saddens me to think what this place could be but has fallen to waste.
Beautiful place, love to visit!
Nice place by the river. You can also fish here. Fun!!
Relaxin to walk around near the river.. see birds n squirles n fish in the water.... take a lunch n eat at picnic tables. Enjoy the peacefulness.
Itll always be a beautiful place but its becoming a wasteland, filled with dead animals, fish and algae.
You can party in a pavilion, fish or swim. Lots of room and has rest rooms.
Well...alot of people go fishing here but I like to take pictures . Go very early in the morning and youll get great photos.
Very pretty place to see the shore, water birds, and other wildlife. Friendly people on the piers fishing. Will be back.
Beautiful view, clean, great place to go fishing and BBQ and have potluck at the park with friends and family
Really cute little park!
One of the best small parks in the area
I love this place! I even made a friend here
Absolutely lovely little park with great river views
Great spot to go fishing, walk your dogs, or launching your kayaks. I do like to spend several hours a week here doing one of the three.
It is a nice place to spend an afternoon.
Lovely place if you want to relax do some fishing or just hang out with the family, have a picnic at some of the Pavilions they have.
Beautiful place to hang out. Also two docks to fish from.
Nature at its finest.
Enjoyed my day here.
Nice small park
Good fishing!
Because its clean in the park and the restrooms.
Very beautiful area nice and quiet. One of many of Florida parks that I love to come to and relax for a while. P.S. plenty of fishing spots if you are into that.
Such a pretty place its a shame it is so often dirty and overrun with trash and smells like yesterdays regurgitated fish
Very relaxing park. Great place to have lunch or just hang out and enjoy the breeze
A nice place in the afternoon to go to especially when you spending father-daughter time
Its a beautiful and clean park. Great scenery!The downfall - its seems to be a gathering place for the homeless/down on their luck folks in the area.Its not a big deal for me but some may not feel comfortable with it.
Just like to relax there
