Melbourne Beach
The quiet end of the Space Coast — unspoiled beaches and a true escape.
About Melbourne Beach
Melbourne Beach sits at the southern end of the beachside barrier island, offering some of the most pristine, uncrowded beaches on Florida's Atlantic coast. It's a small, quiet community that attracts buyers who want a genuine coastal retreat — not a tourist destination.
