Area Info
In the center of Florida's Atlantic Coast lies the Space Coast: an area centered geographically, historically, culturally, and recreationally on famed Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center. Even the area code here is "3...2...1..."
The area is practically coextensive with a single county—Brevard—extending for 70 miles along the Atlantic shoreline. Titusville, Melbourne, and Palm Bay are the most important towns; but the heart of the region is the NASA complex at Cape Canaveral, including the John F. Kennedy Space Center. From here, shuttles rocket into space—a mind-boggling spectacle that can be seen, heard—and felt—as far away as Orlando and beyond. In between shuttle missions, the continuous beaches are among Florida's most popular.
