Go towards the coast on State Road 46 and take I-95 down. To see more of the beaches, you can take US 1 but it is much slower.

If you want to take some hours, stop by the Kennedy Space Center. In the winter, bird watching is great at the Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge just north of Cape Canaveral, but this time of year it's not as good though the beaches in the Canaveral National Seashore are lovely - and not destroyed by development like the ones further south.

No recommendations from me about WPB - I've been there three times in my life, each time for one day. As a Florida native, I find it too artificial and crowded - pretty much the way I feel about Disney and Orlando.
