Learn more about Merritt Island
Blast off at Kennedy Space Center, where actual rockets tower overhead and astronaut memorabilia brings space exploration down to earth. Kayak through mangrove tunnels at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, where manatees and dolphins often make surprise appearances alongside your paddle. The Brevard Veterans Memorial Center offers a thoughtful tribute to service members with exhibits that avoid the usual military museum stuffiness. Black Point Wildlife Drive provides a front-row seat to Florida's wild side without requiring hiking boots or bug spray. After all that adventure, locals retreat to Shore Lanes Bowling Center, proving that even in a space-age community, there's something charmingly timeless about knocking down pins.

Holiday Inn Express Cape Canaveral by IHG
"Walking distance to the beach. Free breakfast and the pool and lounge area were nice and clean! Definitely recommend!"
Radisson Resort at the Port
"Staff was great shuttle service to the port is definitely worth it, would definitely stay again"
Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront
"Had a blast for my daughter's 13th birthday. Easy walk from our room to the beach. Shopping and food is within walking distance. Shower was amazing to get the sea salt washed off! Ordered food at the hotel outdoor bar and took it to our spot on the beach for lunch. Elevators were fast. There is a valet for parking. Don't use the scooters from the parking lot. They were awful and broke down on us. Not owned by the hotel though. A/c in the room was great. Coffee maker was wonderful in the roof and fridge for bottled water was perfect. Could not have been happier!"
