Our area is known as the “Space Coast” because of its impact on space travel. Here, visitors can watch a Space Shuttle launch on our sandy beaches or while navigating a kayak through a pack of manatees in the Indian River Lagoon.  Whatever you choose,  a vacation along Florida’s Space Coast is an adventure filled with active days and relaxing nights. It’s a special place that can suit any vacation preference.  From an engaging stroll through one of four historic downtowns, to taking in a Broadway show at the Maxwell C. King Center, or bird watching at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.
