Melbourne, Florida is a relaxed Space Coast city with warm weather, miles of beaches, a compact walkable downtown of cafés, breweries and galleries, and plenty of outdoor options (surfing, kayaking, bike trails)—a comfortable, homey base that makes multi-week therapy assignments feel like an extended getaway.
Cocoa Beach and the Kennedy Space Center are a short drive for surf and rocket launches, and Orlando’s theme parks, dining, nightlife and major airport are roughly an hour away, so you’ll have both beach days and big‑city options nearby.
