Beaches and Day Trips
Cocoa Beach
About an hour from your door, Cocoa Beach is the classic Florida beach experience, six miles of sand, easy surf, and famous for catching rocket launches right from the shore. A brilliant way to swap the parks for some sea air.
Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex
A genuine bucket list day trip. Walk beneath the real Space Shuttle Atlantis, meet a veteran astronaut, and if the timing lines up, watch a live rocket launch. About an hour from home and worth the full day.
Clearwater Beach
On Florida’s Gulf Coast, roughly 90 minutes away, Clearwater Beach is regularly ranked among the best in the whole country, sugar white sand, calm warm water, and a lovely nightly sunset celebration at Pier 60. A great pick for a proper beach day out.
