Review:
Set on a barrier island along Florida's Space Coast beside the Indian River Lagoon, Melbourne will give you access to miles and miles of unspoiled beaches, surfing, fishing and snorkeling, and frequent light tropical breezes. Of many local beach parks, three are the most popular.
One is Sebastian Inlet State Park with sensational surfing, emerald clear waters, three miles of fine golden sand, great scuba diving, boating, and fishing. Coconut Point is a popular nesting site for sea turtles, but it is also great for swimming (Video) and surfing.
Juan Ponce de León landing is a beachside park where the famous explorer allegedly landed in 1513.
