Known as Florida’s gateway to space, Cape Canaveral is adjacent to the famous Kennedy Space Center, the hub of the nation’s human space program.
In addition to recreational activities on the Atlantic Coast beaches and the Banana River shoreline, Cape Canaveral provides the unique and popular pastime of watching rockets launch near the water. Cruise ships regularly leave and enter nearby Port Canaveral. The aptly named Golf n Gator presents guests with mini golf and alligators. Sea turtles build nests on Cape Canaveral’s beaches and manatees seek refuge at Manatee Sanctuary Park. Commuters and travelers move around Cape Canaveral with ease on A1A and nearby I-95.
