Mims

Tucked into northern Brevard County’s low, wet Atlantic coastal plain near the Indian River Lagoon, Mims is a place whose character is shaped by flatwoods, marshes and the nearby Space Coast. This small Florida community sits north of Titusville, with the St. Johns River basin extending westward and Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge close by on the coast. Its most consequential landmark is the Harry T. and Harriette V. Moore Memorial Park, which commemorates the civil-rights educators and activists killed in a 1951 bombing at their Mims home. The memorial places a local story within the wider history of the US civil-rights movement. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Florida’s Space Coast.
