Synonymous with space travel, Cape Canaveral is home to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex and the famed site of many NASA shuttle launches, including the Apollo missions. Naturally, learning about the cosmos is one of the top things to do in Cape Canaveral, which is located on the Atlantic coast of Florida, also known as the Space Coast. But beyond offering the chance to learn about the history of NASA, Cape Canaveral is also a gateway to nearby outdoor activities including kayaking, eco tours to see dolphins and manatees, and fishing charters.
