Cape Canaveral

Cape Canaveral is located on the Atlantic coast, and is an important part of an area known as the "space coast." This city is home to the very famous and very integral NASA Kennedy Space Center. There is actually some very interesting history behind the city of Cape Canaveral. In fact, it was once called Cape Kennedy (from 1963-1973), because of President John F. Kennedy's role in the United States space program. There was a small battle over changing the city's name, but finally the Kennedy family agreed to change it back to Cape Canaveral, but the space center retained the famous Kennedy namesake. The city's name has a Spanish origin, and actually means "canebrake", which is an area land that is dense with sugarcane. Aside from the famous space station, the Cape Canaveral Lighthouse Cape Canaveral Lighthouse is also a very popular attraction. Constructed in 1847, the lighthouse is not accessible to tourists, but serves as a beautiful landmark and can be seen with binoculars from the beach in Cape Canaveral. The city of Cape Canaveral was originally inhabited by fishermen, and those who were hired to help operate the lighthouse. Since then, many developers and scientists have also made the city home, as well as retirees.

While the Kennedy Space Center is undoubtedly the main center of attention at Cape Canaveral, there are also some other interesting things to see and do. The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station offers another insight into the space program and what is happening there. A virtual tour of the Air Force Station can be previewed at http://www.robsv.com/cape/. Aside from all things space or rocket related, visitors to Cape Canaveral can also participate in scuba diving, horseback riding, airboat rides, fishing, or check out the alligator wildlife preserve. There are many tours which will take you around "Alligator Island" where you can see live alligators and other interesting wildlife. If you feel like you need a guide, there are literally hundreds of guided tours and boating options to choose from. Sightseeing tours of the Kennedy Space Center take place just about every day of the year. While you cannot go into any buildings or get up close to the launch pad (most tours stop at least 5 miles or so away), you can get insight into the excitement of NASA's space shuttle launches, and you will get a wonderful history of our nation's space program. You will also learn about the many astronauts who have explored outer space. Cape Canaveral is a wonderful educational place to take children, and a beautiful place for couples to visit and enjoy the sandy beaches. Rich with history, Cape Canaveral makes an excellent choice in your visit to the sunny state of Florida.
