Visit Florida's "Space Coast" at Cape Canaveral

Florida tourism is famous for huge attractions such as Disney World as well as natural wonders such as the Everglades, but modern history provides another strong reason for visitors to come to this state in the Deep South. Tourists who book stays in Cape Canaveral vacation rentals can enjoy all that the "Space Coast" has to offer. This region of Florida is so named because it has long been the site of rocket and shuttle launches for America's space program. The Saturn V rockets that lifted off for the moon used the Cape Canaveral launch facility and to this day, the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral welcomes visitors who wish to learn more about how the area played a vital role in both the Space Race and the Cold War.

Even the area code here pays homage to the space heritage of the region, with "321," the same numbers as used in countdowns, covering the area. However, there is more to see than just recreations of rockets and spacesuits. Other attractions include the Cape Canaveral lighthouse as well as Port Canaveral.

Natural Features

Visitors to the area enjoy exploring Mosquito Lagoon as well as the Canaveral National Seashore. The Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge provides tourists with a chance to explore protected habitats and see some of the flora and fauna native to this area of Florida including wild boars, American alligators, and Florida panthers, to name just a few. Bald eagles can also be seen in the area. Hikers should wear adequate footwear since Eastern Diamondback rattlesnakes are also known to inhabit the region.
