If you are looking for a reasonable place to stay on your next Florida travel vacation, then consider the city of Cape Canaveral Florida. Cape Canaveral is located in Brevard County on the Atlantic Ocean. It is separated from the mainland by the Banana River, Merritt Island and the Indian River. It is mid-point between Miami and Jacksonville and about 50 miles east of Orlando making this location ideal for those of you that want to stay away from theme parks and attractions for a while.
