Melbourne sits at the heart of the Space Coast, where aerospace, defense and high-tech manufacturing anchor the economy. Major defense contractors, aircraft manufacturers and engineering firms operate here, along with a supply chain tied to launches from Cape Canaveral, and Florida Tech brings research and engineering talent to town. Business travelers often split their time between offices in Melbourne and Palm Bay and sites farther north near the Cape.

Leisure draws include quiet Atlantic beaches, surfing at Sebastian Inlet, fishing and paddling on the Indian River Lagoon, and the chance to watch a rocket climb off the Cape from the sand. Snowbirds and retirees favor the barrier-island towns of Indialantic and Melbourne Beach, where the pace is slow and the beaches are rarely crowded, and Kennedy Space Center is an easy drive north. Flying privately avoids connecting through Orlando's busy terminals and the drive across the Beachline, and lets you reach Miami, Tampa, the Panhandle or the Bahamas on your own schedule.
