Understand
Oak Hill marks the final settlement, going south, before the Canaveral region. The various waterways and landmasses of the Canaveral Seashore are preserved land as Canaveral National Seashore and Kennedy Space Center/Cape Canaveral.
The town is semi-rural, except for a short section along the Intracoastal Waterway, which diverts from US-1. This section includes some nice views of the waterway, a restaurant, and nearby historic site.
