Official VISIT FLORIDA Travel Guide 2008 - (Page 40) Surf’s up The foaming Atlantic waters that pound the east coast ensure there are a string of beaches perfect for catching a wave. Reliable surf has made Sebastian Inlet, just south of Cocoa Beach, a mecca for both local and visiting surfers. And if the crowds aren’t here, then you’ll find them at alternative surf hot-spot Ponce Inlet, south of Daytona. Other sure-fire places to seek out a wave include the Fort Pierce Inlet, New Smyrna Inlet and Satellite Beach. Must-Sees 1 DAYTONA BEACH AREA An essential pitstop for motor sport enthusiasts, the Daytona International Speedway hosts dozens of car, motorcycle and gokart races throughout the year. For a real insight into the world of speedway, head for Daytona 500 Experience, an interactive attraction that lets visitors try changing a tyre mid-race, design a car and experience racing, via a simulator, at 320 km/h. SPACE COAST AREA Just 45 minutes east of Orlando, The Kennedy Space Center’s Visitor Complex has long been established as one of Florida’s unmissable attractions. An Astronaut Hall of Fame, IMAX® films and a full-size shuttle replica are among the out-of-this-world entertainment on offer. Cocoa Beach, the nearest stretch of sand, is perfect for soaking up the sunshine, catching a wave or eating seafood on the wooden pier. 2 VISITFLORIDA.com/uk 40 Ron Jon Surf Shop, Cocoa Beach http://VISITFLORIDA.com/uk
