Castaways Point Park, located at 2990 Bay Blvd. NE in Palm Bay, will reopen to the public on Wednesday, January 15.   The park has been closed since July due to a shoreline stabilization project.  In 2024 the City of Palm Bay secured a $2 million zero-interest loan from the state to harden the shorelines at Castaways Point Park and Stearns Point Park, 4295 Dixie Hwy.  The portion of the project at Castaways Point Park is now complete.

The Palm Bay Parks & Facilities Department took advantage of the park closure to complete extensive renovations including updated landscaping, fresh paint and stain on structures, new parking stops, and refurbished north stairs to the beach.   A new observation deck near the north pier was also added along with a new wooden boardwalk connecting the north and south piers.  A new grill was added at the north pavilion as well.  Finally, the south observation deck was refurbished utilizing salvaged wood from a 2024 project at Goode Park.  “We’re excited to welcome the community back to Castaway Park to enjoy its upgraded facilities and stunning views,” said Josh Hudak, Parks Division Manager.
