Brevard County is better known locally as the Space Coast with historic Cape Canaveral - where America’s exploration of the universe began - and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took the first steps on their historic journey to the moon. 

It is located in east Central Florida 45-minutes from Orlando and half way between Miami and Jacksonville.

Discover a place where adventures are made, pristine shores are abundant and nature is close at hand. Lose the traffic, the city noise and the crowd, and discover the perfect vacation. Witness nesting sea turtles, beautiful sunrises, and warm, breezy weather.

Florida's Space Coast is where adventure awaits! We have over 72 miles of beach along Florida's Atlantic coast, where it's easy to find your space in the sand, claim it as your own and soak up the sun! When you're not working on your tan or learning how to surf the waves in Cocoa or Melbourne Beach, you can visit some of the most unspoiled pristine natural habitats Florida has to offer.  Kayaking in the Indian River Lagoon or Turkey Creek Sanctuary and exploring the Kennedy Space Center - or launching on a cruise headed for the Caribbean.   

If you are in the Aerospace Industry and are looking for a new job - Brevard County is the place to look.  Several thousand new positions have opened in the last few months to support our growing space and aerospace companies.

If you love to shop and dine, spend the day in historic Cocoa Village or downtown Titusville, shop the new Avenue Viera, or take a casual stroll through the quaint streets of downtown Melbourne.  Florida's Space Coast is also home to one of the highest rated zoo's in the country, the Brevard Zoo.  

By the way, this is a photo of me when I was three years old.  Cool, huh!  I was at my grandparents' farm in Hannah, Indiana.  That's where I used to spend many weekends and vacations...looking for arrowheads, planting, picking fresh veggies, and enjoying Nature.  I called this place...home.  You might notice that I encorporate much of this space and many childhood "objects" in my writing.  Hey, it's called Object Relations theory and Attachment Theory.  We make meaning and try to put everything we experience into context.  Yep, I'm a bit of a contextualist as well.

Last week, we discovered Castaway Park.  We walked around and talked with some locals. Melbourne, what a friendly city!
