Question:
I'm thinking of
visiting and possibly moving to Brevard County, can you tell me
what type of place it is to live or visit?
Answer:
Brevard
County, home to Melbourne and Cocoa Beach, is a really nice place to
visit and live. The area has many fun and relaxing things to do
whether you are a
first time tourist or a year-round resident.
You can enjoy the gorgeous beach
sunrises, ride the waves,
collect seashells on clean beaches, see birds and wildlife
in
their natural environment and, if you're lucky enough, you might
even view a
spectacular shuttle launch. The area also
offers a high quality of life with excellent
schools and medical
facilities. Travel in and out of the area is also very
convenient via Melbourne International
Airport.
