Melbourne Beach Vacation Rentals, Homes, Condos, Villas and Beach Rentals

Melbourne Beach is located at the southern end of Brevard County along Florida’s central Atlantic “Space Coast.” This is where 33 miles of barrier islands connect with the mainland via three causeways. In Melbourne Beach, you will find gorgeous, white sand beaches, grassy dunes, and several beachside parks that offer recreation for the whole family. Choose from swimming, sunning, surfing, sailing, diving and snorkeling. There are twelve area golf courses to choose from and eight tennis courts. Brevard County area lakes offer some great freshwater fishing. Melbourne Beach is home to the Grant Seafood Festival, usually held in February, and the Melbourne Art Festival is held in April. Other places of interest include the Brevard Zoo, Brevard Museum of Art and Science in Melbourne and the Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge. The neighboring city of Melbourne has a very nice historic district with several blocks of antique shops, cafes, restaurants, and gift shops in turn-of-the-century buildings. Melbourne Beach is also just a short drive north to the Kennedy Space Center and the Astronaut Hall of Fame. If you are lucky enough to visit during a shuttle launch, you can even view it right from the beach.

Melbourne Beach Weather & Climate

The "Space Coast" of Florida, which lies on the Central East Coast near the Kennedy Space Center, has a semi-tropical climate that becomes quite warm and humid during the months of June, July and August. Frequent showers and thunderstorms are generally local and short in duration. Large tropical storms can bring high winds and inundating rainfalls, but due to excellent weather forecasting, warning time can be up to a week. The coastal areas also offer daily breezes of adequate velocity that helps moderate temperatures. September and October remain warm, with September usually being the wettest month. November to February is relatively dry and sunny with pleasant daytime temperatures and cool nights. In the months of March to May the sun begins to climb higher in the sky again with warmer days and moderate rainfall.
