Explanation

Cape Canaveral is a headland on the east coast of the United States located in the state of Florida. The site includes the Kennedy Space Center and adjacent launch complexes from which American space shuttles and many other rockets have historically lifted off, making it the principal U.S. launch site on the Atlantic coast [1]. Visitor and official state sources likewise describe Cape Canaveral as part of Florida’s Space Coast (in Brevard County), situated between Jacksonville and Miami and hosting the Kennedy Space Center and numerous launch pads used for shuttle and modern rocket launches. This confirms Florida as the correct coastal state for Cape Canaveral.
