Spring is for the Space Coast

There’s no other place in the world quite like the Space Coast. From here you can see rockets blast off into space, surf clear blue seas, and paddle next to dolphins and manatees. And that’s just one day. If you’re looking for a Spring Getaway to revitalize your soul, energize your family, and refresh your outlook, the Space Coast is the perfect destination for your Spring Getaway.

Getaway on Space Coast Beaches

@eightyfaux

The Space Coast is a bit different than most other Florida destinations during the Spring season. Cocoa Beach is our most well-known and popular beach. If you’re looking for a lively experience with incredible amenities like surf lessons, beach cruiser rentals, volleyball boxes, events, and beachfront tiki shacks and restaurants, you’ve got to be in Cocoa Beach. There are plenty of people watching and family-friendly activities to take part in Cocoa Beach on the Space Coast.

If you’re looking for a more secluded beach getaway, Florida’s Space Coast has an abundance of those as well! From the pristine beaches of Canaveral National Seashore to the Beaches of Patrick Space Force Base, and the crystal-blue waves at the Sebastian Inlet State Park, there’s plenty of sand to spread out on the Space Coast

Paddle the Lagoon this Spring Getaway

@cocoakayaking

The Indian River Lagoon is one of the most ecologically diverse estuaries in North America. It’s home to thousands of species of fish, birds, and marine mammals. It’s also a great place to explore during a Spring Getaway. Take a guided kayak tour to explore the Thousand Island Conservation Area, or rent a paddleboard in the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge to paddle around with manatees and dolphins in the mangrove tunnels There are also plenty of boat rental options on the Space Coast for a motorized lagoon experience. Grab some fishing rods and hop from dock-to-dock as you experience the best of the Indian River Lagoon. It’s a trip you and your family will never forget!

Take to the Trails on your Spring Getaway

The Space Coast is more than just Beaches and Waterways. If you’re looking for a great experience on terra firma this Spring, take to the trails. Titusville is our trail town, with 3 major trails converging here, it’s a cycler’s paradise. Check out all the trails of Titusville! There are also plenty of boardwalk trails through our coastal paradise. Check out the Turkey Creek Sanctuary if you’re staying in Palm Bay on Space Coast, The Rich Grissom Memorial Wetlands if you’re staying in Viera on the Space Coast, or the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge if you’re in Titusville on the Space Coast

No Space Coast vacation is complete without a trip to Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. This spring we are also looking forward to the addition of Gateway – the Deep Space Launch Complex opening in March.  This immersive experience will include tons of new rockets,  and a new ride that will take you to the farthest reaches of the known universe. If you haven’t been to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex in a while, it’s about time to return.

The Brevard Zoo is another amazing place to stop on the Space Coast for some fun in the shade! See the exhibits, partake in the add-on adventures like kayaking through the Nyami Nyami River where you’ll paddle past Giraffes and Zebras. Zip over alligators and traverse a tree-top ropes course to see spider monkeys and giant river otters on a Treetop Trek. There’s always something to discover at the Brevard Zoo!

Explore Hidden Gems

Looking for an attraction sure to expand your mind without the crowds? The Space Coast is full of hidden local gems including amazing museums like the Harry T. & Harriet V.
