Space Coast
The Space Coast of Florida is an iconic stretch along the central Atlantic coast (Brevard County), spanning about 72 miles of coastline from Titusville down to just north of Sebastian Inlet. Easily accessible just 45 minutes east of Orlando, it’s uniquely known as “the only beach that doubles as a launch pad,” thanks to its proximity to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral.
