Without question, Florida’s Space Coast is an ideal family vacation destination. The sky’s the limit
for fun and relaxation on the 72 mile stretch of unspoiled beaches that forms Florida’s Space Coast.
It is also the gateway to the hi-tech world of Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where you can
explore up close the 30-year Space Shuttle Program including its key role with the International Space
Station and Hubble Space Telescope.
ON THE COVER: Home to legendary surfers like Kelly Slater, Caroline Marks, and CJ and
Damien Hobgood, the Space Coast is known as the Surfing Capital of the East Coast. The
wave quality and year-round good weather make our beaches ideal for beginners learning
to surf. Make sure to stop by world famous Ron Jon Surf Shop, Cocoa Beach Surf Company,
Beachwave Beachwear, and Xtreme Surf Shop for all your beachgoing needs and to sign
up for surf lessons. Don’t forget to take a selfie with Kelly Slater’s statue outside. Looking for
the best breaks? The Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier is an iconic starting spot, and the Streets
near downtown Cocoa Beach or 2nd Light Beach are local favorites. More advanced surfers
should check out Melbourne and the Beaches for consistent, challenging waves. This includes
the Indialantic Boardwalk and legendary First Peak at Sebastian Inlet State park. Learn to
surf where all our best local surfers honed their skills and shaped an entire generation of
surfers in the 70's and 80's.
Surfing isn’t the only way to hit the waves. Popular activities include stand-up paddleboarding,
wake boarding, windsurfing, and kitesurfing. Visit Bit.ly/SpaceCoastLessons for listings of
lesson providers.
Whatever your interests are, the Space
Coast offers endless opportunities to
enjoy invigorating outdoor activities and
unparalleled educational experiences.
Go birding, hike our scenic trails, take a
ride in an authentic World War II Biplane,
play golf, visit museums, galleries, antique
stores or pause to enjoy any of the Space
Coast’s many fantastic eateries. Florida’s
Space Coast is the place where you and
your family can see and do it all! There’s
no other Florida destination like it!
