The Sunshine State is home to beautiful beaches, fantastic weather, and worldclass industries. It is also home to some of the quirkiest cities in the country. One such city is Merritt Island, which is noteable for its unique geography. Located on Florida's Atlantic Coast in Brevard County, Merrit Island is an island that is part of a long peninsula that is connected to the mainland at the north but separated from the mainland at the south due to the Indian River intercoastal waterway. The peninusla itself is divided by the Banana River.

As a result, Merritt Island refers to the island, the town located on the island, and the Meritt Island National Wildlife Refuge that is also located on the island. Its unique geography makes life in Merritt Island County a very interesting and exciting one.

Situated south of the Merritt Island National Wildlife Range, the town of Merritt is also located near the Kennedy Space Center, the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, and the Merritt Island Airport.

Literally a tropical paradise, Merritt Island is home to over 36,000 residents. A highly affluent town, Merritt Island is praised for its highly relaxed way of life. With so much water and beach area around, it's practically impossible to be bored in this gorgeous part of the country.
