CRAIG RUBADOUX 

WELCOME TO BREVARD COUNTY 

We’re serious business, 

but also plenty of fun 

FLORIDA TODAY STAFF 

Brevard County has a treasure trove 

of activities awaiting you. The 

FLORIDA TODAY Fact Book is the 

place to discover them. 

One of the most celebrated 

attractions for tourists and 

residents alike is the Kennedy 

Space Center Visitors Complex’s 

$100 million attraction, Space Shuttle Atlantis. 

Back down to Earth, our 72-mile long county 

offers endless opportunities for nature lovers. 

From strolling along our ample beaches and 

kayaking lagoons, to fishing our rivers and 

enjoying picnics in public parks, nature lovers 

will find an endless source of appeal. 

Those loving the arts and entertainment will 

find an unending array of activities. Theater 

patrons frequently rave about the six community 

theaters here. 

Visual artists abound here and regularly 

exhibit in area galleries; dance companies 

perform throughout the year. 

Port Canaveral is the world’s second-busiest 

cruise port, trailing only the Port of Miami, in 

cruise passenger volume. Brevard County’s 

seaport is the home port of Carnival, Disney, 

Norwegian and Royal Caribbean cruise ships. 

The port also is growing its cargo business. 

And it is the home to Jetty Park, Exploration 

Tower, and the Cove restaurant and retail district. 

The Brevard Zoo in Melbourne was part of 

TripAdvisor’s 2015 Travelers’ Choice Awards 

after users ranked it as the nation’s 14th-best zoo. 

Florida Tech runs the county’s two fine art 

museums and curates vivid, exciting exhibitions. 

Musical concerts range from country to 

classic, from amateur to world renown, and are 

held in venues from 300 to 2,000 seats. 

Want to discover a club or charitable 

organization to broaden your interests? 

Or maybe how to contact your elected official 

or find your nearest public school? 

This is where to look, and it will remind you 

why you love living in Brevard.

ARE WE DIFFERENT? 

Because we are the ONLY 

Retirement Community in 

Brevard County licensed to offer 

you a TRUE continuum of care. 

“Baby Boomers like us, are now retiring at 

a rate of 60,000/ day for the next 10+ years 

and are looking for a good quality 

retirement community. Why we selected 

Buena Vida Estates… because of the 

sound of laughter coming from the 

residents and staff and endless smiles. 

We felt like we had found a home. It feels 

like we are on a cruise ship without getting 

seasick—meaning many activities, live 

entertainment, a bistro bar, wonderful 

food selection, several dining arrangements, 

a heated pool, housekeeping and good 

security. We like the idea that we can just 

turn the key to our apartment and leave to 

travel. If you want to remain ‘young at 

heart’Buena Vida Estates will certainly 

make that possible!” —Jim & Sandy

Valid photo identification, such as a 

driver’s license, must be presented. 

Both applicants must provide Social 

Security numbers. If previously 

married, you must know the date 

when the previous marriage ended. 

For a marriage license, both 

applicants must apply together in 

person. 

Filling out an online application at 

http://web1.brevardclerk.us/ 

oscar/cform.aspx can expedite the 

application process. Save the 

application number it provides and 

bring it to the clerk. 

To obtain a marriage license without 

parental consent, both applicants 

must be at least 18 years of age. The 

age restriction does not apply for 

individuals who have been married 

previously or can prove they are 

parents or expectant parents. 

A marriage license application fee of 

$93.50 can be reduced to $61 if both 

parties submit a certificate of 

completion of an approved 

premarital preparation course. If the 

ceremony is performed at the clerk’s 

office, an extra $30 is charged. 

Certified copies of marriage licenses 

are available for $3 each. 

In most cases, there is a three-day 

waiting period for Florida residents. 

If the bride and groom are residents 

of Florida and both took the 

premarital course and submitted a 

certificate of completion, there is no 

waiting period. A hardship may be 

declared to avoid the waiting period. 

There is no waiting period for 

nonresidents. 

The Clerk of the Court office can 

provide information on how to 

obtain paperwork needed to file 

for a divorce.

Tower in 

October 2016. 



WEATHER 

Hurricanes, lightning keep area on alert 


As blizzards blast the northern 

states, Floridians can 

count on mostly mild 

winters, along with tempestuous 

summers and the 

occasional hurricane. 

They are all a part of 

the daily drama we call 

Florida weather. Much of it is pleasant, with 

average winter highs in Melbourne in the 

low 70s and lows about 50; in the summer, 

expect your low 70s at night and temperatures 

around 90 during the day. 

In fact, Brevard is coming off its fourthwarmest 

winter in history. 

The dry season of late fall through early 

spring may increase the danger of fire, 

while summer monthly rain totals range 

from almost 6 to well over 7 inches from 

June through September, according to the 

National Weather Service. 

Those totals can be enhanced by tropical 

storms and hurricanes. Of hurricanes that 

have affected the United States, 40 percent 

hit Florida, which gets the most of any state 

— 115 landfalls from 1851 to 2016. 

The 2016 hurricane season was above 

average in the Atlantic basin, with 15 named 

storms, seven hurricanes and four major 

hurricanes, the most notable being Hurricane 

Matthew in early October. But Matthew 

weakened significantly (from a Category 

4 to a Category 1 storm) before passing 

Brevard, sparing the county from what 

could have been much worse damages. 

A Category 1 hurricane has sustained 

wind speeds of 74 to 95 mph. A catastrophic 

Category 5 tops 155 mph. In any hurricane, 

it is wise to evacuate trailers and manufactured 

homes, and residents of the barrier 

islands may be ordered to leave. 

The country’s lightning capital, Florida 

leads the states in lightning deaths and 

injuries. If you hear thunder, you can be 

struck. Get into a building or an enclosed 

metal car, and stay off corded phones and 

away from plumbing. Open structures such 

as picnic pavilions aren’t safe. 

Florida has a large number of tornadoes 

and waterspouts; rare Central Florida tornado 

events have been deadly. Stay informed 

by buying a weather radio, which picks up 

National Weather Service forecasts and 

sounds an alert tone when watches and 

warnings are issued.

Melbourne National Weather Service website

For today, for the future, 

for our community... 

Coastal makes connections for life. 

Seasoned Professionals~As Brevard County’s exclusive provider of non-emergency ambulance services, Coastal 

Health Systems makes important connections every day for the citizens of our community. For 29 years, our staff 

of trained professionals has safely transported hundreds of thousands of patients to and from various healthcare 

providers here in Brevard County and across our state and nation. Every day of every year, Coastal is on duty and 

playing a key role in Brevard’s medical transportation system. 

Accreditation Matters~Since 2006 Coastal has been nationally accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of 

Ambulance Services (CAAS). As one of the first three Florida agencies to successfully earn this distinction we are 

proud to have lead the way for others to follow. Florida now has 15 CAAS accredited agencies that have attained 

this distinction but that number remains small in comparison to the total number of ambulance services operating 

in Florida. Considered the “Gold Standard” for ambulance services, Coastal is very proud of the achievement which continues to demonstrate our 

commitment to quality and our dedication to our community and our healthcare partners. 

Quality Assured~At Coastal “Quality” is a benchmark for day-to-day performance. Coastal believes quality must be measured in many different 

ways, from patient surveys, on time performance measures, to clinical indicator reviews and patient care report accuracy just to name a few. Coastal’s 

franchise agreement with Brevard County mandates very specific performance parameters including one that establishes a minimum of 90% for on 

time performance. Exceeding that requirement every year, Coastal’s on time performance averaged 97% over the past 10 years. Additionally, patients 

responding to Coastal’s patient satisfaction survey have consistently rated their transports above 3.8 on a 4.0 matrix rating scale. Coastal takes 

performance standards very seriously and closely monitors how that performance meets the expectations of its patients, healthcare partners and 

county leaders. 

Community Partnerships~Coastal Health Systems is a truly unique not-for-profit organization in partnership with Brevard’s hospitals and Brevard 

County. Operating under the vision and guidance of a Board of Directors with members from Brevard hospitals and with the important oversight 

of the Board of County Commissioners, Coastal must meet the highest professional and service standards and remain capable of responding to the 

needs and vision of the county’s health care and emergency services professional’s alike. Coastal exemplifies the level of collaboration that exists within 

our community to deliver the high quality of service that our hospitals expect, our county leadership requires and our citizens deserve.

INTRODUCTION 

Hot spot to soak up sporting life 


Brevard County is home to just about every sport 

imaginable. Whether you like to participate or watch, 

chances are you’ll find something you enjoy. 

Local waterways offer some of the finest boating 

and sailing, and an ideal environment for water skiing, 

wakeboarding, stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking 

and canoeing, as well as competitive and recreational 

rowing. Kiteboarding is gaining in popularity, along 

with more traditional forms of boardsailing. 

Though wave conditions are not always perfect for surfing — or 

perhaps because of that — Brevard County has produced several major 

surfing stars, including world champion Kelly Slater of Cocoa Beach 

and the Hobgood twins, C.J. and Damien, veterans of the World Surf 

League. Local contests are conducted annually from Cocoa Beach south 

to Sebastian Inlet. Surfers often share their favorite inlet break with 

anglers in search of a treasured taste of snook or a fight with a tarpon. 

Super boat races come every May to Cocoa Beach, bringing in some 

of the fastest boats around. 

If water sports aren’t your thing, Brevard is home to many 

challenging public and private golf courses designed by some of the 

great players. 

Tennis facilities from Titusville to south of Melbourne Beach 

include just about every surface. There is also a men’s and women’s 

pro tournament at the Kiwi Club in Indian Harbour Beach. 

Brevard County is a haven for runners from the area and outside of 

it. There are many 5Ks that take place monthly and the Running Zone 

Race Series is a group of seven races that include the I Run For Pizza 

Football Kickoff 5K. 

The Space Coast Runners is a group that has running sessions and 

the Space Coast Runner of the Year Series, which includes the Space 

Coast Marathon & Half Marathon. 

The county also is home to the USA Beach Run and Florida & Half 

Marathon, listed as “One of America’s Top 10 Bucket List Waterfront 

Races” by Runners World magazine. 

And then there are the county’s many parks, where everything from 

bocce ball to cricket, horseshoes, disc golf, sand volleyball, softball and 

soccer — to name a few — are available year round in addition to miles 

of running, hiking and mountain biking trails. There also is an 

equestrian facility and archery range at Melbourne’s Wickham Park. 

Space Coast Stadium will be the site for the USSSA Pride 

professional softball team that plays during the summer. 

A variety of amateur sports, drawing teams from across the 

country and beyond, will take place at Space Coast Stadium and at 

Cocoa Expo throughout the year. 

There also are numerous facilities offering bowling and billiards. 

Ice skaters and hockey fans gravitate to the Space Coast Ice Plex in 

Rockledge while extreme sports enthusiasts take advantage of several 

first-class skate parks. There also is a rock climbing facility in West 

Melbourne and a trampoline park, Sky Zone, in Rockledge. 

All in all, the Space Coast offers something for just about everyone.

Mysterious visitors 

to Brevard’s beaches 

Sea turtles are air-breathing 

reptiles that spend most of their 

lives in the ocean. Of the seven 

species, loggerhead, leatherback 

and green nest along Brevard 

County’s coast. 

Green turtle 

Adults: Up to 700 pounds, 5 feet long 

Status: Endangered 

Lays 3 to 5 clutches 

of eggs per season, 

an average of 115 

eggs per clutch. 

Nesting period: 

June through 

late September. 

Turtle

Brevard 

County 

Leatherback 

Adults: 700 to 2,000 pounds, 

4 to 8 feet long. Status: Endangered 

Lays about 

80 fertilized eggs and 

protects them with about 

30 unfertilized eggs. 


April through July. 

Loggerhead 

Average adult: 300 pounds, 

4 feet long. Status: Endangered 

Lays 4 to 7 clutches, 

an average of 100 to 

126 eggs per clutch. 


April through 

September. 

Nesting in Florida 

Annually, sea turtles along the Florida coast make between 

40,000 and 84,000 nests, mainly from May through October. 

Labor pains 

After mating in the ocean during 

early spring, females usually return 

to the beach where they were born. 

The females emerge from the ocean, 

usually at night, and make their 

way above the high tide line 

to find a nesting site. 

Nesting can take one 

to three hours, and 

exhausts the turtle: 

1. The female digs a 

body pit using her flippers. 

Using her cupped rear flippers 

in an alternating scooping motion, 

she digs an egg chamber. 

2. Using her front flippers, she fills in 

the body pit to disguise the nest. Once 

the nest is covered, she returns to the 

ocean and never returns to the nest. 

3. After the eggs are deposited 

into the chamber, she uses her 

rear flippers to push sand over the 

chamber and gently packs the sand. 

The eggs are 

about the size of a 

pingpong ball, flexible 

and do not break 

as they fall into 

the chamber. 

4. With the chamber finished, she begins to 

lay eggs. Two to three eggs drop at a time, 

covered in thick, protective mucus. 

The eggs hatch 

about 60 days 

after being 

laid, depending 

on the sand 

temperature. 

Green turtle 

hatchling 

After a hatchling 

reaches the surf, for 

the next 24 to 48 hours, 

it swims into deeper 

water where it is less 

vulnerable to predators. 

Leatherback 

hatchling 

More than 90 percent 

of hatchlings are 

eaten by predators. 

Only about 1 in 

1,000 hatchlings 

survive to 

become 

an adult.

The Space Coast is home to premier surf spots, international 

surfing events and some of the world’s top 

surfers. Among the pros who got their feet wet along 

the Space Coast are world champions Kelly Slater of 

Cocoa Beach and C.J. Hobgood of Satellite Beach. 

Several annual events in Brevard County have 

attracted thousands of spectators and hundreds of 

competitors. Among the area’s contests are the National 

Kidney Foundation Labor Day Surfing Festival, 

the Beach ’N Boards Festival in the spring, the Waterman’s 

Challenge in the summer and a gathering of the Women of the 

Waves in Cocoa Beach each fall. There are plenty of other events for 

youngsters and adults alike, including the Eastern Surfing Association 

Series and the National Scholastic Surfing Association and Atlantic 

Surfing Federation championships. For casual surfers, popular spots 

extend from Playalinda Beach in the north to Sebastian Inlet down south. 

On Christmas Eve each year, the internationally renown Surfing 

Santas event takes place in Cocoa Beach, with santas surfing and skydiving. 

This past year, a record 772 St. Nick-costumed surfers took part.
