When Ponce de Leon landed near Melbourne Beach in 1513, he became the first European to set foot in Florida.
Melbourne Beach is Brevard County's oldest beach community. It was established in 1883 by a retired Union general. Pineapples were grown there until 1895, when freezing weather wiped out crops and ended commercial farming there.
In 1921, the Melbourne Causeway was built, connecting Melbourne beach to the mainland via the town of Indialantic. In 1923 it was incorporated as a town.
The town's population oscillated until World War II, when it began growing steadily. Currently, it is largely residential, with an elementary school, some businesses, and many condominums in the unincorporated areas to the north and south.
In 2007, it was voted one of ten best bargain retirement spots in America.
This island, approximately 35 miles in length, stretches from Cape Canaveral to the north to the Sebastian Inlet (see The Sebastian Inlet State Park) to the south. Melbourne Beach is neighbored by the town of Indialantic to the north.
Personal income:2006
The median income for a household in the town was $57,035, and the median income for a family was $62,139. Males had a median income of $46,424 versus $34,028 for females. The per capita income for the town was $31,489.
Median home value was $425,500 in 2007.
Melbourne Beach is second in Brevard for per capita income and 124 out of 887 places.

Ok I have a friend....more like a dad to me... He is the one that got me involved in Real Estate as in buying rental property's....And now he needs some help and I am counting on my friends on Active Rain to help me help him...and I am sure you can do it.... everyone knows some one, that knows someone, that knows someone, that owns property on the ocean...right?
Ok he is planing a family trip to Florida next year and he wants to rent a house on the ocean....( and no he isn't taking me)
But he is looking for certain things and that's what he wants he may sway a little this way or that way...so just let me know what you got....
Here is what he wants....
#1 To rent for one (1) week from June 20th till June 26th 2010 (he would consider a week before or a week after
#2 It has to be within 25 miles of Melbourne Florida (north or south) but must be on the ocean...(not across the street from the ocean) must have a beach right out the back door.....
#3 It needs to have at least 4 bedrooms ( the more the better but at least 4)

Life is a Beach! And this RV resort has it's own private beach. There are 3 pools: one on the India-Atlantic River; one overlooking the beach and one in the center of the complex. You can own this lot and bring your motorhome down for the winter and enjoy the balmy breezes off the Atlantic. Beautiful resort with tennis courts, two clubhouses (one is for owners onlyand overlooks the river); shuffleboard, boat ramp for river access, and lots of activities. Wow, live the Florida lifestyle either year-round in a permanent model or wintertime in a motorhome.

Melbourne Beach is on the east coast of Florida approximately 35 miles south of Cocoa Beach and is an island off the mainland. What a great place to live the Florida lifestyle. The lot is $85,000.
