Just a short day trip away from Daytona Beach, yet capable of offering a vacation all its own, is Florida's Space Coast.

Home to Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral, the Space Coast includes the cities of Titusville, Cocoa Beach, Melbourne and Palm Bay. All told, the region in east-central Florida offers 72 miles of shore, plus nature tours, fishing from fresh or salt waters and golf.
