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: The Space Coast is full of fun-related places that can be found both on and
off the beach. With 72 beautiful miles of Atlantic Ocean, the Space Coast is known for many
beautiful beaches such as Playalinda on Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach, Satellite Beach, as well
as Melbourne Beach to the south. All along our gorgeous coastline beachgoers can “Hang
Ten” on a wave or sit back and relax while enjoying the sand and the surf.
Being known as the Surf Capital of the East Coast, visitors to the Space Coast can grab some
surf gear at one of the many local Surf Shops. If surfing isn’t your preference, then stop into
one of the various Boutiques for all your beachy needs and one-of-a-kind souvenirs.
Space more your thing? Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex is the only place on Earth
where you can tour launch areas, meet an astronaut, see giant rockets, train in a space flight
simulator and even view a rocket launch. If museums are more your speed, take a trip over
to the American Space Museum in Titusville or The Florida Surf Museum in Cocoa Beach.
Whatever your definition of fun is, there’s plenty of fun in the sun to be had throughout
Florida’s Space Coast.
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!
