Nature & Wildlife

Florida's Space Coast is a unique place, where the technologies of space exploration and environmental protection meet the exceptional resources of natural Florida. Whether visiting Kennedy Space Center, area beaches or numerous wildlife areas that dot the 72-miles of Atlantic coastline, a visitor to the Space Coast can find year-round family enjoyment that is naturally out-of-this-world.

We might have over a hundred public parks with facilities for both play and exploration. And our beaches are some of the most abundant sea turtles nesting areas in the world. But our area is unique in that we have more than 250 square miles of federally protected wildlife refuges with spectacular landscapes and a rich diversity of rare and endangered plants and animals for visitors to discover.

So whether your dream Florida vacation is to spend an afternoon kayaking through a quiet mangrove, zipping 55 feet in the air through Florida's outback, photographing rare bird species, or petting a manatee, Florida Space Coast is your "green" dream come true.
