Located on one of the barrier islands on Florida's east coast between the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian River, Satellite Beach provides a tranquil setting among the bustling coastal communities that this part of Florida is known for. Three miles of pristine beaches and a laidback commercial center belie the area's location. For the most part, Satellite Beach won't be packed with tourists like Daytona Beach, but you'll still find plenty of surf and sand along with open-air dining and fresh seafood – along with other options. Proximity to Patrick Space Force Base makes Satellite Beach popular with those who work on base. Charming apartment communities, condos, and bright beach houses make up the rental market here. Highway 1 connects Satellite Beach to the rest of the coastline and the bustling beachfront communities along it.
