Explore Scenic Drives Perfect for Brevard County Locals
Hey, Space Coast neighbors! Are you feeling that itch to hit the road for a little adventure? Whether you’re in Melbourne, Cocoa Beach, or even a bit further south in Cape Canaveral, Florida has an abundance of scenic drives just waiting for you. From coastlines to historic towns, these local routes promise a delightful getaway without straying too far from home!
A fantastic local option is the Space Coast Best Coast Route, which highlights the rich history of our area alongside stunning ocean views. Beginning in Cocoa Beach—yes, the home of Ron Jon Surf Shop—you can cruise along A1A, soaking in the sun and a bit of rocket history. Make sure to stop by the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex where you can embark on an exciting bus tour of the iconic launch pads. It’s a perfect reminder of why we love calling this region home.
If you’re eager for a day trip that combines both beach vibes and historical significance, consider heading up to St. Augustine. While it’s a bit of a longer drive from Brevard County, the journey is half the fun. En route, enjoy the scenic landscapes along the Ormond Scenic Loop. Once you reach St. Augustine, explore the oldest city in the U.S., complete with the impressive Castillo de San Marcos. It’s like stepping back in time, and just a short drive from our Space Coast treasures!
Or how about embracing some natural wonders without leaving our beautiful state? A drive along the Tamiami Trail through the Everglades is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts. Just think—you can see alligators basking in the sun just a few feet from your car! This route connects Naples to Miami but makes for a perfect day trip for any local looking to immerse themselves in Florida’s wild side.
So, whether you’re cruising to the historic coquina walls of St. Augustine or enjoying our own Space Coast experiences, there’s so much to explore right at our doorstep. Don’t let the weekend pass by without embarking on a little adventure. What do you think, Space Coast? Drop your thoughts below.
