About Melbourne Beach
Melbourne Beach is a quiet Space Coast town about 90 minutes southeast of Orlando, set inside the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge — one of the most important sea turtle nesting sites in the Western Hemisphere. The beach has a small-town feel with uncrowded sand, a walkable downtown along Ocean Avenue, and consistent surf breaks that draw a mellow local crowd. It's a good alternative to Cocoa Beach for visitors who want the Space Coast without the T-shirt shops.
