Merritt Island is positioned between Cocoa and Cocoa Beach and is known for waterfront dining, boating, lagoon access, wildlife experiences, and its proximity to Kennedy Space Center.

Nature lovers can also explore nearby parks, boardwalks, wildlife viewing areas, and the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge region.

A personal vehicle is the easiest way to explore Merritt Island, Cocoa Village, Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, Port Canaveral, and Kennedy Space Center. Ride-sharing services may also be used throughout the Space Coast, but availability and wait times can vary.
Public transportation is limited, and Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex does not offer direct public transportation, so guests planning to visit should drive or arrange private transportation. Parking instructions for the property will be available in the Guest Portal before arrival.
