Warm sandy beaches and rockets launched into outer space make for a vacation you’ll never forget.

Enjoy the ocean breeze, the pounding surf and the thrill of catching a wave. Have fun seeing the area’s natural beauty and exploring the wild spaces. See where the space race began and feel the rush of a rocket launch. This is what Florida’s Space Coast has to offer visitors. All this and much, much more!

The Space Coast is a region of Florida around the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. All of the NASA launched crewed space flights have departed from either Kennedy Space Center or Cape Canaveral.

Space Coast has the perfect combination of sun, sea and space that you won’t find anywhere else on the planet. This part of Florida is where the temperate climate zone and the subtropical climate zone meet. Here you can find animals and plants that are found nowhere else on earth.
