Welcome to the Space Coast
About the MelBeach.org domain
I’ve wanted to live near the ocean for as long as I can remember. While visiting the Space Coast to witness the final Space Shuttle launch in 2011, my family and I visited the "Sand on the Beach" restaurant in Melbourne Beach. I instantly fell in love with the area’s laid-back, "Old Florida" feel.
In 2025, to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, my wife and I decided to make the dream permanent. What started as a search for a vacation home led us to the perfect property during our very first session with a realtor. Within a month, we were moving in!
About the FoundSalt.com domain
In his classic hit "Margaritaville," Jimmy Buffett sang about "searchin' for my lost shaker of salt." For me, that search represented a lifelong quest for a home by the sea. By finally finding my place here in Melbourne Beach, I didn't just find a house—I found the missing salt.
"Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call. Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall."
— Jimmy Buffett, A Pirate Looks at 40
This call has been a constant rhythm in my life. Standing on the shores of Melbourne Beach, I realize that the ocean wasn't just a destination, but a homecoming. FoundSalt.com is my way of sharing that journey and the peace that comes with finally answering the call.
