GIVE HER THE MOON. . . AND THE STARS ON FLORIDA’S SPACE COAST

SPACE COAST, Fla. -- FLORIDA’S SPACE COAST -- a 72-mile stretch of sun-bronzed Atlantic shore, space age attractions and protected wildlife refuges flourishing along the surf -- offers a unique Valentine’s getaway combining beautiful beaches and care-free cruises with rocket launches and canoe tours through oak hammocks and vast estuaries. Only 45 minutes from Orlando, Florida’s Space Coast -- comprised primarily of area cities Titusville, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne and Palm Bay -- features a galaxy of romantic and adventurous options including seaside horseback riding, moonlit guided sea turtle tours along the beach, Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame and walks hand-in-hand through historic districts discovering quaint antiquing boutiques and alfresco cafes, providing sweethearts a chance to experience land, sea and space adventures.

Three of “Florida’s Ten Best Beaches,” (Southern Living) along with six other beaches, ribbon along Florida’s Space Coast offering distinct settings from secluded, sea-oat scattered strands to sun-splashed sand playgrounds. Couples find a private picnic spot by 15-foot high dunes lining the 24-mile stretch of Canaveral National Seashore, including the pristine beaches of Playalinda, Klondike and Apollo -- all with imposing launch pads creating awe-inspiring backdrops. For rousing volleyball games, live music and bike riding along the coast, head to Cocoa Beach and its famous 800-foot wooden pier lined with restaurants, shops and fisherman reeling in the catch of the day.

The perfect complement to Space Coast beaches is Port Canaveral, the largest passenger cruise port terminal in North and South America and the only quadramodal port in the world. Depart to exotic locales with Disney, Premier, Carnival and Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines which offer two, three, four, or seven-day care-free cruising.

Beyond sun, sand and sea, Florida’s Space Coast is the place to spark up the romance with rockets, launch pads and G-force simulators. Experience the daring exploits of past, present and future galactic exploration at Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, boasting Launch Complex 39, an authentic Saturn V rocket and the new International Space Station Center, where couples witness each module being readied for orbit. The nearby U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame gives hearts young and old a new thrill through the acrobatics of astronaut training. Unique simulators and interactive exhibits simulate forces of gravity, landing a shuttle and maneuvering a Mars rover.

In sweeping contrast to these space age attractions, surrounding NASA Kennedy Space Center is the 220-square-mile Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge which serves as the home of more federally endangered species -- such as the Western Indian Manatee, Southern Bald Eagle and Atlantic Loggerhead Turtle -- than any other refuge in the United States. From thrilling airboat rides along the alligator-riddled marshes of St. Johns River to paddling Indian River Lagoon and spotting precious manatees, Space Coast eco-diversions guarantee memorable quality time together.

From moonwalks and dune overwalks to cruise ports and water sports, discover the romance of Florida’s Space Coast by calling 800-93-OCEAN toll-free or visiting www.space-coast.com.
