The northern end of Brevard County represents a unique combination of history and progress. The Kennedy Space Center is by far the area’s most well-known attraction, drawing visitors from all over the world. Businesses and government organizations related to the space program have also been an asset to the area, stimulating the job market and the local economy.

Shopping and dining choices are abundant, from the historic Downtown area to the Frontenac Flea Market. The state-of-the-art Parrish Medical Center is an integral part of the community with its employment opportunities and local events.

Yet there is also a quieter side to this area. Nature lovers and adventure seekers have unlimited options when it comes to camping, hiking, canoeing, kayaking and bird watching. The Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, Canaveral National Seashore and the Enchanted Forest are great places to spend an hour, a day, or even a weekend!
