Melbourne, FL

Melbourne is located on Florida's Atlantic Ocean coast, 50 miles southeast of Orlando, FL. It is the closest city to the NASA space launch facilities at Cape Canaveral, and the area around Melbourne has thus been dubbed the "Space coast" as a result. Viera, FL is located a couple of miles north of Melbourne.
