Melbourne

Few cities in Florida have a history as closely tied to the rise of the Space Coast as Melbourne. Set on the western shore of the Indian River Lagoon, it looks across barrier islands toward the Atlantic Ocean. The 1958 founding of Brevard Engineering College, now Florida Institute of Technology, reflected the aerospace expansion associated with nearby Cape Canaveral. Eau Gallie, a former city annexed by Melbourne in 1969, is now known for its arts district and historic commercial streets. Melbourne Causeway links the mainland with the beach communities beyond the lagoon. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Melbourne and Florida's Space Coast.
