Our Take

Cape Canaveral is a decent choice for families with young children and those working in the nearby Kennedy Space Center or Port Canaveral. However, its remote location limits options for dining, nightlife, and public transportation. With a relatively short commute to Orlando, locals can enjoy amenities in a nearby metropolis while maintaining a peaceful coastal lifestyle.
