Dive into an unforgettable summer vacation.
Skip the lines and find your space on our 72 miles of paradise! Here we spend our days at the beach catching waves and crashing sand castles. By night, we look to the skies for rocket launches, then grab a paddle and hop in kayaks to illuminate the lagoon’s seasonally bioluminescent waters. From air-conditioned attractions to shady boardwalk trails, ice cream counters, and tiki huts, Florida’s Space Coast has everything your family needs to create a vacation you’ll remember forever.
Summers on the Space Coast are truly out-of-this-world. From June to October, the waters of the Mosquito Lagoon, Banana River, and Indian River Lagoon come alive with the natural phenomenon of bioluminescence. Book a kayak or accessible boat excursion from one of the many guided tour operators for an unforgettable experience you’ll have to see to believe.
