THE SPACE COAST: CAPE CANAVERAL AREA & COCOA BEACH

Cocoa Beach is located on a barrier island on the Atlantic Coast and is a perfect destination for those seeking the best in beach resorts on Florida Space Coast. Relax on the soft sands of Cocoa Beach, go deep-sea fishing in the Atlantic or explore ancient cypress forests by airboat. Spend a peaceful evening watching the sun set on the Indian or Banana Rivers, and then head out to the exciting nightlife scene. Excellent restaurants and accommodations range from elegant to sand-in-your-shoes casual. Just six miles long and mostly less than one mile wide, Cocoa Beach is truly a unique place!

Where else can you choose between watching a space launch from the beach or precious marine and bird species in their natural habitat? Or choose between a swim in the ocean or a quiet kayak exploration off the Banana River islands from our river shore? Play a round of golf at the 27-hole golf course, surf cast from the beach for dinner or just enjoy a day at the beach where you will likely see dolphins at play or be lucky enough to see an occasional whale in migration.

Nearby, in Cocoa, shop in the charming boutiques of Historic Cocoa Village or one of the expansive malls. The casual beach lifestyle is enjoyed by visitors and residents alike!

Melbourne Beach is located along Florida’s central Atlantic Space Coast where 33 miles of barrier islands connect with the mainland via three causeways. In Melbourne Beach, you will find gorgeous, white sandy beaches, grassy dunes, and several beachside parks that offer recreation for the whole family.  Choose from swimming, sunning, surfing, sailing, diving and snorkeling.

The neighbouring city of Melbourne has a very nice historic district with several blocks of antique shops, cafes, restaurants, and gift shops. Melbourne Beach is also just a short drive north to the Kennedy Space Center and the Astronaut Hall of Fame.  If you are lucky enough to visit during a shuttle launch, you can view it right from the beach.

We are not featuring any hotels in Melbourne Beach at this time.

Vero Beach is a world away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet close to Florida's attractions. Located on Florida' s east coast, midway down the peninsula, this quaint seaside city is surrounded by miles of lush, unspoiled beaches and the Indian River Lagoon.

A multitude of nature, heritage and watersport activities are available, from the new Pelican Island National Wildlife Visitor Complex to ocean fishing at the Sebastian Inlet.

For sports buffs there are challenging courses for every level of play, tennis on riverside courts or in a serene park setting. With all the indoor amenities, you won't be anxious to come inside, but when you do you'll discover excellent art and historic museums, galleries, theatre, eclectic boutiques, and great malls that rival the most cosmopolitan cities.
