Learn more about Merritt Island

Blast off at Kennedy Space Center, where actual rockets tower overhead and astronaut memorabilia brings space exploration down to earth. Kayak through mangrove tunnels at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, where manatees and dolphins often make surprise appearances alongside your paddle. The Brevard Veterans Memorial Center offers a thoughtful tribute to service members with exhibits that avoid the usual military museum stuffiness. Black Point Wildlife Drive provides a front-row seat to Florida's wild side without requiring hiking boots or bug spray. After all that adventure, locals retreat to Shore Lanes Bowling Center, proving that even in a space-age community, there's something charmingly timeless about knocking down pins.
