Beachgoers Applaud New Parks Appointment
|
 The
National Park Service has hired a new leader for the Canaveral National
Seashore in Florida.
Myrna Palfrey-Perez will take over as park superintendent for the 24-mile
stretch of seashore that crosses Brevard and Volusia counties. Friends of Playalinda Beach,
a naturist group that frequents the area north of the northernmost dune
crossover in Brevard
County, welcomed the new
park superintendent. The group clashed with former superintendent Carol Clark
over nudity on that area of the beach. Although federal and state laws
banning simple nudity have been overturned, a Brevard County
ordinance bans it. Friends of Playalinda president Robert Allen plans to meet
with Palfrey-Perez and ask her to review the history between nudists and the
beach.

splash pool.
