The so-called Space Coast , the base of the country's space industry, occupies a flat, marshy island bulging into the Atlantic. Many visitors are surprised to find that the land from which the Space Shuttle leaves earth is also a sizable wildlife refuge. The general information hotline is 321/452-INFO or 1-800/93-OCEAN.
