Florida’s Space Coast is a place where sandy beaches meet world-famous surfing and oceanfront happy hours. A place where nature provides a landscape for visitors to enjoy idyllic year-round temperatures, and where the tranquillity of the river and the warmth of the sun will enrich the senses. And it’s where cruise ships, rocket launches, and natural wonders delight year-round. The area’s top visitor attraction is Kennedy Space Center, where you can celebrate the pioneers of NASA’s early space programmes, go behind the gates and get access to historic launch sites and working spaceflight facilities, stand in awe of an American icon at the permanent home of the actual space shuttle Atlantis and then, strap yourself in for lift-off at the Shuttle Launch Experience®. Yet, with over 72 miles of coastline, you will discover the area is so much more than the place for space!
