Things to do on the Space Coast
The Space Coast sits about an hour east of Orlando on the toll SR 528, a strip of Atlantic shoreline built around Kennedy Space Center.
Titusville faces the launch pads across the Indian River and offers the best free viewing; Merritt Island holds the wildlife refuge around the launch zone; Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, roughly 100 km from Orlando, fills a full day on its own with an entry ticket in the 75-90 USD range; Cocoa Beach is the surf-town stop with the more touristy stretch of sand; Port Canaveral handles the cruise ships.
Visiting the complex is straightforward planning; catching a launch is not, since schedules shift by hours or days.
