Port Canaveral Cruises |
Port Canaveral Area
The Space Coast, as the area around Port Canaveral has come to be known,
has become one of the top tourist destinations in Florida. The
magnificent Kennedy Space Center is the embodiment of the promise that
President John F. Kennedy made to the nation in the early 1960?s. Even
after hundreds of space explorations, shuttle launches at Cape Canaveral
are still a special event. Although it's easy to spend an entire day at
the Kennedy Space Center, there is plenty more to see and do around Port
Canaveral. For one, the government purchased too much land around Cape
Canaveral. Instead of just selling it back, the land has been designated
as wildlife refuges and nature preserves. Nature lovers will not want to
miss the beautiful hikes through Merritt Island National Wildlife
Refuge, or the gorgeous sights that surround the Canaveral National
Seashore. Just south of Cape Canaveral is Cocoa Beach, which has become
a surfer's nirvana. Temperate weather and bodacious waves have
transformed this beach into a year-round party. Port Canaveral is a
man-made port, with lots of cruise ships using it as an entryway to
ports of call throughout the Caribbean. The area around the port has
been beautifully developed, with shops and restaurants dotting the
waterfront. Fishing boats and gambling cruises have added to the
carnival that surrounds Port Canaveral. The best way to enjoy the Space
Coast is by balancing your day. Spend the morning marveling at the
technological wonders of space exploration. Then, take a picnic lunch to
the nature reserves, enjoying the serenity afforded you here. Finally,
top off the day by admiring the sunset from a waterfront restaurant on
Cocoa Beach. Spacing out your time will allow you to fully enjoy
everything that the Space Coast has to offer..
