Cape Canaveral, previously named Cape Kennedy, and part of the region known as the Space Coast, is an entirely exclusive educational travel destination for you. A strip of land in Brevard County, Florida, this one of its kind cape is located near the center of the state’s Atlantic coast – just south of the John F. Kennedy Space Center and north of Cocoa Beach. Its inhabitants are few, numbered to be less than 10,000 according to the U.S. Census 2000. Nonetheless it is the site of some of the most adventurous undertakings in the globe: rocket launches and space shuttles. Cape Canaveral is home to the Kennedy Space Center as well as the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. You can visit both stations at leisure, for here’s where the real action begins, and you imbibe the human feats in adventures with space and time. Many United States cutting-edge spacecrafts are still launched from either of the two centers, with or without heroic astronauts. Find out the date of the next launch while planning your visit so your experience is all-embracing. The cape also has terrific accommodation available for visitors. (The Kennedy Space Center alone has hosted millions of visitors from around the world in its first thirty some years). Other features of the cape include the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse and Port Canaveral. The Cape Canaveral Cruise Line is one of the attractions for all visitors in for a lavish vacation. The fine-looking S. S. Dolphin IV sails from Port Canaveral to the Bahamas. On board, you can look forward to dining on gourmet cuisine, being entertained by handpicked performers, enjoying being catered to by international staff and lounging by the pool with a pina colada. Miss Cape Canaveral, too, is docked in Port Canaveral. Feeding you on the choicest along the way, Miss Cape Canaveral takes you on a deep-see fishing trip – yet another must-do. A trip to Cape Canaveral will open your mind and strengthen your soul, making room for more exploratory voyages in your days to come. It is truly an adventure of a lifetime! |
