Florida's Space Coast offers 72-miles of sun-bronzed Atlantic shoreline with sandy beaches and water sports only 45 minutes east of Walt Disney World in Orlando. The area is perfect for family day trips, sunning, surfing and more.

Cocoa Beach is the closest beach to Orlando, just an hour from Orlando on the BeeLine (SR 528) Expressway so it is very popular with tourists and residents alike. The beaches offer a wide variety of fun with wide sands, gently sloping beaches and moderate surfing and swimming waves. There are a number of parks on the beach which offer direct access to the ocean, picnic pavilions, surf fishing, nature trails, playgrounds and surfing or swimming.

A highlight of Cocoa Beach is the pier which stretches 840 feet over the Atlantic Ocean and is open year-round. Food and beverages are available, with restaurants, souvenir shops and frequent live entertainment. Fishing equipment can be rented nearby for the angler in the family.


Daytona Beach, “the World’s Most Famous Beach", stretches 23 miles along the Atlantic. The beach is well known for being the home of the Daytona 500 NASCAR race, spring break, and BikeWeek, and is popular with young people and families alike. The gentle slope and tides have packed the white sands near the ocean which allows for driving of cars, as well as many different types of beach bikes and buggies which can be rented.

Driving and parking during the day is allowed on 16 miles of the beach when the tide permits. Simply pack a lawn chair or blanket and cruise over to Daytona, park within feet of the water and deploy your lawn chair, sandals and suntan lotion - this is an ideal beach for sun and surf lovers.


New Smyrna Beach has over 13 miles of beautiful white sandy beach and is dubbed the "World's Safest Beach" thanks to its friendly waves and weak currents. Wide and flat with vehicle access like Daytona but much less crowded, the beach is open to vehicles from sunrise to sunset in certain areas.

New Smyrna beach offers great entertainment in a clean, peaceful setting - with sunbathing, swimming, surfing, jet skiing, wind surfing, fishing, and shell collecting. New Smyrna Beach is often referred to as "Florida’s Original Theme Park." with its 1.5 mile boardwalk loop around the Inlet area where nature comes alive. Quaint restaurants and shops line the nearby streets


Vero Beach is home to Disney's Vero Beach Resort where you can discover Disney hospitality with a splash of oceanfront fun on Florida's famed Atlantic coast. Let your kids slip down Pirate's Plunge, a 163-foot spiral water slide, or splash with them on the Pirate Ship wet-deck. Swim in the Atlantic, play mini-golf, rent a hobie cat, roast a marshmallow at a seaside campfire, ride the 7 mile bike trail, and play the nearby golf courses! Just a 2 hour drive from Orlando and relatively serene and quiet, the setting is magical and the service is legendary.
