Brevard County’s oldest beach community, Melbourne Beach was established in 1883. Once home to pineapple growers, the area is now known as an affordable haven for those seeking top-notch real estate close to the beach or the Indian River.
Located south of Indialantic, Melbourne Beach is close Patrick Air Force Base, Melbourne, and Palm Bay. It is flanked on the west by the Indian River and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. Melbourne Beach is one of many towns located on a barrier island that is also home to Cape Canaveral. Colloquially known as the Space Coast, residents have an affinity for NASA as well as the ocean.
Families considering Melbourne Beach will be happy to learn the area is part of the Brevard Public School System, one of Florida’s finest. In addition, the area is home to many family-friendly parks and playgrounds.
Those who work on the mainland or who enjoy heading into Orlando can take the Melbourne Causeway (US-192) over the Indian River and directly into Melbourne. US-192 connects with both US-1 and I-95. While your Melbourne Beach home will feel like a retreat, it remains close to all the action.
