Space Coast, Florida

By Teresa Plowright, About.com Guide

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.
