One of Brevard County's southern-most beachside communities, Melbourne Beach
provides all the pleasure of the Space Coast while also allowing for quick
excursions to take in the sights and scenery of the Indian River County cities
of Sebastian and Vero Beach.
 The
Town of Melbourne Beach, which was established in 1883, is Brevard's oldest
beach community. The town was incorporated in 1923 with a population of a few
hundred residents. After World War II, the town's population growth steadily
increased to its current total of 3,422. The projected maximum population,
based upon past growth trends and future extrapolations, is approximately 4,000
residents.
Points of interest in Melbourne Beach include Ryckman House, the Sea Turtle
Preservation Society and Flutie Athletic Complex, which is well equipped with
picnic area, community center, playground, tennis courts, soccer and Little
League fields, multi-use fields, and a concession stand. Long Point Park is
popular for riverfront camping, and has excellent facilities including hot
showers, laundry, picnic areas, pavilion, restrooms, swimming lake, boat ramp
and canoe rentals.
