Florida is a popular vacation destination. Many travelers have the theme parks of Orlando or the beaches of Miami on their vacation radars—and rightly so. But if you’re looking for something new, consider a trip to Port Canaveral, FL.
Port Canaveral—Florida’s Space Coast—is known for a number of attractions and activities you can’t find anywhere else. Here are just a few that are only minutes away from our Carl’s Van Rentals Port Canaveral location.

You will never forget the rush of seeing a rocket launched into space. Port Canaveral is home to the Kennedy Space Center, where many of the U.S.’s spacecraft are launched each year. You can time your trip to catch a launch, but if you can’t, the Kennedy Space Center also offers visitors a wide range of space-related exhibits and activities that all ages can enjoy.
New to Port Canaveral, the Exploration Tower offers visitors a unique glimpse at Florida’s Space Coast. All seven stories of the Exploration Tower feature exhibits and interactive displays that highlight the Port Canaveral region as well as its connection to space travel.

The Space Coast also includes opportunities for some beach fun. Cocoa Beach has all the sand and surf you need. Your crew can grab the beach gear, pile into your minivan rental, and be at Cocoa Beach in no time.
As you plan your next Florida vacation, be sure to keep Port Canaveral on your list of destination ideas. You will not regret a trip to the Space Coast—one of Florida’s most unique regions.
