SPACE COAST, Fla. -- From moon walks and dune overwalks to cruise ports and water sports, a galaxy of options await at Florida’s Space Coast, a 72-mile stretch of sun-bronzed Atlantic beaches, space age attractions and protected wildlife refuges flourishing along the surf -- all at down-to-earth prices. Comprised primarily of area cities Titusville, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne and Palm Bay and only 35 miles east of Orlando, this spectacular East Coast getaway is home to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame and Port Canaveral -- the second largest multi-day cruise passenger port in the United States.

Florida’s Space Coast -- the only place in the country to blast man into outer space -- entwines mega 6.2 million pound space shuttles and delicate sea bird sanctuaries along nine distinct coastal settings. Orlando’s closest shore also boasts three of "Florida’s Ten Best Beaches" -- as declared by Southern Living -- and is home to the largest sea turtle nesting area in the country with more endangered species than any other American refuge.

The area hosts more than 30 special events and festivals year-round and combines three historic clusters providing a quaint atmosphere from antique boutiques to old-time theaters, all as the spring training home of the Washington Nationals, fantastic surfing, 310 species for bird watching, links and links of golf, fantastic fresh and saltwater fishing and thrilling airboat rides along the scenic St. Johns River.

To experience an "out-of-this-world" vacation, contact Florida’s Space Coast Office of Tourism at 800-93-OCEAN or through our Contact Us form.
