Out-of-this-world beaches, surfing and adventure on Florida’s Space Coast
Just under an hour from Orlando on Central Florida’s Atlantic Ocean coast, Cocoa Beach and Port Canaveral are two of the most popular destinations in Brevard County, also known as Florida’s Space Coast. Cocoa Beach is a world-famous surfing destination and Port Canaveral is one of the USA’s busiest cruise ports, but this area’s biggest claim to fame is Kennedy Space Center, the longtime launchpad for U.S. space travel. The region’s other cities include Melbourne (and its low-key beach towns), Titusville, Palm Bay and Viera. Each has its own unique charm, but all are basecamps for exploring the Space Coast’s gorgeous stretches of sand, natural wonders and rich cultural attractions.
