Melbourne, Florida Vacations

Vacationers can get more out of Florida with the exciting addition of Melbourne, a brand-new destination with family-friendly charm located southeast of Orlando along Florida’s Space Coast.

Set beside the Indian River Lagoon bordering the Atlantic Ocean, take a walk around Melbourne’s historic downtown centre with entertainment, food and drink, street art, shopping and festivals such as the Independent Filmmaker's Festival and Oktoberfest. For sun and sand, head to the nearby Indialantic, Indian Harbour Beach or Satellite Beach where the surfing is far out, or visit the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge, one of the most significant Sea Turtle nesting habitats in the world on Melbourne Beach.

Adventurers can interact with over 900 animals from around the world at Brevard Zoo, an open-air habitat along the coast with kayaking around giraffe enclosures and ziplining over alligators, or explore the galaxies like never before at the Kennedy Space Coast Visitors Centre Complex with close-up views of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and NASA rockets.

More sights, sounds and experiences are only a short drive away in Orlando where you can enjoy the iconic Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, and a little bit of magic. Sunwing vacationers can also embark on their cruise sailings from Port Canaveral, less than an hour from Melbourne.
