Creator's Key Takeaways

We are on Florida’s Space Coast to share our favorite places to eat, stay & play near Port Canaveral, Cocoa Beach, and Merritt Island.

We're going to take you along on our two fun-filled days here on the Space Coast so that you hopefully will find some inspiration.

This tour offers such a quiet mellow pace and we have been amazed at the variety of wildlife that we've seen so far.

We loved being on the water at Sunset immersed in nature.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Be aware there are toll roads between Orlando and the coast and you can pay cash as you go.
Arrive early at Kennedy Space Center, wear comfortable shoes, and plan for as much time as you can.
Bring a refillable water bottle to Kennedy Space Center.
Check out Fishlips for pre-cruise dining and ship spotting.
