Located at the northern end of a barrier island on the Atlantic coast of Florida, Cape Canaveral is part of a region known as the “Space Coast”, since all of the manned United States spacecraft are launched from the Space Center on nearby Merritt Island. It is due south of the geographical feature Cape Canaveral (known as Cape Kennedy from 1963 to 1973) and is separated from the mainland by the Banana River, Merritt Island and the Indian River from east to West.
For cruise liners, Port Canaveral is an important port which takes on passengers here for cruises to the Caribbean.
