Brevard County didn’t become a destination when the first rockets were launched here. It has been that for generations, going back to the days of the Spanish explorers. Before the first airplane landed here, this was a nationally known haven for hunters and fishermen, including Theodore Roosevelt. Later, it was prized for its riverside hotels and seaside casinos.
And Brevard always has provided the opportunity for people to have alternatives, or to begin anew. Seasonal residency didn’t start with condos, you know. And this always has been a pretty diverse place: Both former slaves and ex-Confederates came south to start new lives here, and the advent of the railroads meant the coming of people who simply wanted more warmth and sunshine. They came and they stayed.
We’re here to stay too: people who genuinely appreciate the things Florida’s long, skinny, Space Coast has to offer, from great spots in which to vacation to great neighborhoods in which to live. We have prize winning restaurants and title winning athletes; world-respected artists and musicians and world-class celebrations and festivals.
That we also have the place from which humans first departed the earth for another heavenly body -- and with a little wisdom on the part of some, will continue to do so -- helps. Few vistas are as awe-inspiring as a look up the elongated tin can that is the Redstone rocket to the tiny capsule at its apex, the likes of which once carried a man beyond the wild blue yonder.
No theme park has the sort of impact as the one that gives its visitors a taste of the ultimate thrill ride, and it’s here.
So is one of the world’s most diverse eco-systems, a huge amount of which has been preserved in the form of parks and reservations; a water-lover’s paradise, with so much to do that’s aquatic that we can’t begin to mention it all; and one of the planet’s cleanest, most efficient and busiest harbors, which happens to be homeport to Mickey Mouse’s fleet, not to mention various other vessels for exploration and relaxation.
And naturally, there are our beaches. No others are closer to Mickey’s city and none are as well tended or respected. None have more interesting waters either. You never know who you’ll see if you keep an eye on the waves. Where else do you see streets named after famous surfers?
It’s all here, to be enjoyed by visitors and residents alike. Join us at Destination Brevard.
