Cape Canaveral
Just 40 miles east of Orlando, you'll find 72 miles of picturesque Atlantic beaches known as Florida's Space Coast. Along this impressive stretch of coastline, unspoiled nature preserves exist in perfect harmony with the space-age attractions of Kennedy Space Centre Visitor Complex, Port Canaveral and the U.S. Astronaut Hall of Fame.
