Florida's Space Coast Office of Tourism

Owing to its proximity to the Kennedy Spaceport Launch Complex, the Brevard County Tourism Development Office has been nicknamed "Florida's Space Coast Office of Tourism." Florida's Space Coast refers to some 72 miles of Atlantic shoreline, east of Orlando and due west of Cape Canaveral. It includes such cities as Cocoa, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay, and Titusville, as well as over 250 square miles of protected wildlife refuges.

Among the top ten things to do here, a visit to the Kennedy Space Center ranks number one, followed closely by spending time at the local beaches, three of which rate among the best in the state. The other eight listed activities are: visits to Brevard Zoo, Port Canaveral, and the American Police Hall of Fame; exploring Historic Downtown areas and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge; touring the Valiant Air Command & Vintage Warbird Museum; visiting Cocoa Beach Pier; and making the pilgrimage to the world-famous Ron Jon Surf Shop.

Also of interest are 25 challenging golf courses as well as fishing on the freshwater St. Johns River, on the saltwater Indian River Lagoon, or in the deep waters of the Atlantic, plus dozens of other attractions. The Florida's Space Coast Office of Tourism is located at 430 Brevard Avenue, Ste. 150, Cocoa, Florida 32922. Office hours are from 8am to 5pm on Monday through Friday. Handicapped parking and wheelchair access are provided.
