Surf's up in Melbourne.

Set beside the Indian River Lagoon along Florida's Space Coast, Melbourne offers beaches, fishing, golf, snorkeling and many other outdoor activities.

You can bask in the sunshine on miles and miles of Melbourne's unspoiled beaches by daylight or, at night, enjoy a romantic moonlit walk, complete with tropical breezes.

You’ll find all types of shopping and restaurants in Historic Downtown Melbourne and elsewhere in and near town.

The Brevard Zoo, with lush, open-air habitats that are home to over 900 animals from around the world, is worth a look.

Within an easy drive of the Kennedy Space Center, Melbourne also is the home of annual festivals such as the Independent Filmmaker's Festival, Arts Festival, Aviation Day and Oktoberfest.
