Up until the late 80's there were still manned space shuttle flights from the cape on a pretty regular basis and lots of support people lived in the area. It also drew a lot of visitors for the launches, so there were a lot of CGs. My Dad was a space nut, so my folks had a double wide in a CG in Mims, just north of Canaveral. That CG and several others have disappeared. Not much interest in watching unmanned launches anymore.
But a visit to Cape Canaveral is still a vacation destination. They have a great space museum there. Last time I went through Titusville, their huge shopping center was empty - all the stores had closed.
The beaches are still popular, though.
