BEACHES

For an easy-paced beach vacation, try the Emerald Coast.
The area is made up of a few popular beach communities:
Santa Rosa Island, Ft. Walton Beach, Okaloosa Island
and Destin, a destination that was named "Best Beach for Families"
in a poll conducted on the Travel Channel's website. Best for family
fun is Okaloosa Island, a barrier island between Ft. Walton Beach
and Destin, where it's claimed that the sand is so clean it squeaks
under your feet. John Beasley Park, located on Okaloosa Island, is
a great spot to spend a day out in the sun as it offers shade with two
large pavilions, 12 picnic tables and restrooms.

What's best about visiting Florida's Space Coast is that
you can combine a day at the beach-72 long miles of
Florida coastline, all of it prime beachfront property perfect
to plant a beach chair and umbrella-with a visit to the Kennedy
Space Center (but more on that in the "Family" section of this
guidebook). The whole of Florida's Space Coast combines the
coastal towns of Melbourne, Palm Bay, Titusville and Cocoa
Beach. Port Canaveral's Jetty Park Beach is 4.5 acres
of unspoiled, underdeveloped beach and the last land ships
