Florida's Space Coast
The Only Beaches That Double as Launch Pads!
Shaped by water, Florida's Space Coast features 72 miles of picturesque Florida beaches, four national wildlife refuges, a national seashore, the nation's most diverse estuary and Florida's longest freshwater river. In the same place where you can see the world's most advanced technologies launch rockets into space, you can see some of earth's oldest living reptiles warming themselves in the sun.
