Florida: Central East Florida

Overview

The central east region is a popular holiday destination and is famous for car races (e.g. the Daytona 500), space launches and over 200 miles (321km) of sandy beaches, including the celebrated Daytona Beach (dubbed ‘the world’s most famous beach’) and Cocoa Beach. Major cities in the region include Daytona Beach, Melbourne, Palm Bay, Port St. Lucie, Titusville and Fort Pierce. The NASA Kennedy Space Center is among Florida’s most fascinating tourist attractions; a shuttle launch is an unforgettable experience and isn’t to be missed if you have the opportunity. Lake Okeechobee in the south is the second-largest freshwater lake in America (and the largest enclosed entirely within a state) and the region’s biggest attraction, particularly among anglers (favourite quarry include largemouth bass, crappie, bream, catfish and speckled perch). The central east region contains the counties of Brevard (Titusville is the county seat), Indian River (Vero Beach), Martin (Stuart), Okeechobee (Okeechobee), St. Lucie (Fort Pierce) and Volusia (DeLand).
