Port Canaveral, one of the most popular and busiest ports in the world, is situated only eight miles from Merritt Square.  A daily shuttle is available between the mall and the port to allow transport for cruise crew and passengers.

Port Canaveral receives more than four million cruise passengers on an annual basis.  The port is planning to add extra terminals to handle its projected increase in the number of annual passengers.  According to statistics, pre-cruise and post-cruise visitors spend about $100 each day while in the area, and crew members spend on average about $385 on each port call.

A huge part of Merritt Square’s customers are employees based at Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral Air Force Base.  It also hosts thousands of seasonal residents.
