THE AREA:
South Merritt Island is a narrow island between the Banana and Indian Rivers. This location, south of Pineda Causeway and north of Mathers Bridge, is the most sought-after real estate in Brevard County. It is a wildlife sanctuary, home to wild Peacocks, Blue Herons, Egrets, Ibis, Osprey, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays, Bald Eagles, and various ducks and waterfowl. At its narrowest point, it is less than the width of a football field. It widens out further north, eventually becoming Cape Kennedy.
The lush landscape, with old oaks and beautiful homes, feels away-from-it-all, but is just five minutes from shops and services on the mainland and the barrier island of Patrick Space Force Base, Satellite Beach, and Cocoa Beach.
About halfway between Jacksonville and Miami, the Space Coast is an ideal setting where you can find uncrowded beaches, great boating, fishing and water sports, nature trails, shopping, and fine dining. Orlando airport and theme parks are about an hour away.
Perfect seasonal getaway for snowbirds
