About Cape Canaveral
Cape Canaveral is a small barrier-island city defined by its working waterfront: Port Canaveral, one of the world's busiest cruise ports, sits at its northern edge, and the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station borders it to the north. Housing is a mix of mid-century ranch homes, waterfront condos, and newer townhomes, with a laid-back surf-and-fishing culture. It draws space-industry workers and cruise-economy employees.
