Florida's "Space Coast" on the Atlantic ocean is a popular place for families, for several reasons:
  • miles of beaches
  • nature outings: mangroves, manatees
  • affordable prices
  • Kennedy Space Center
  • quaint towns
Just a 45 minute drive west from Orlando, the Space Coast offers a very different type of getaway.
