Local Activities and Extras for Your MG Holiday!

​

We've created an exciting and full three plus days of activites and events, but there's still so much more to do on the Space Coast!

We think you will want to make GOF-South 2026 an MG Holiday, and here are a few suggestions to help you fill the extra days we know you'll want to add to your trip.

​

Here are just a few of our favorites!!

 

***********************************************​​

The Beach!!

Soak up the sun at Cocoa Beach—Florida’s surf capital and your perfect GOF holiday destination! With warm, clear waters, wide white sand beaches, and ideal spring swells, it’s a paradise for surfers and beach lovers alike. April brings sunny skies, temps in the 70s–80s, and fewer crowds. Whether you're catching waves, building sandcastles, or watching a rocket launch from your beach chair, Cocoa Beach is an unforgettable family getaway.​​

 

Kennedy Space Center

The Kennedy Space Center is a must-see addition to your family’s MG holiday. As the heart of every U.S. human spaceflight mission since 1968, KSC continues to Launch Humanity’s Future. Because each of us has unique interests, this is not a GOF directed event. Instead, plan your own full-day visit before or after GOF-South 2026.  A trip to KSC is inspiring, educational, and unforgettable.  It will be the highlight of your GOF-South experience!

Rocket Launches

“To infinity and beyond!”  Your chances of witnessing a rocket launch at GOF-South are very high.  NASA, SpaceX, and ULA launch missions nearly every week.  While you can see launches from almost anywhere on the Space Coast, some of the best views are only a short walk or drive from GOF-South H.Q. at the Radisson.  Just look up.

Lunch At The Port

Kick back for a great waterfront lunch and watch the cruise ships in Port Canaveral, only a couple of miles from the Radisson.  Take some of your GOF friends.  Two of our favorites are Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar and Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill.
 

Ron Jon's Surf Shop

No visit to Florida is complete without a stop at Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach, the World’s Largest Surf Shop. You’ll find the best selection of surf, skate, swim and beach essentials on earth!  Don’t forget those surfer wanna-bes back home.  Three miles from the Radisson.
