Lotus is a former town in Brevard County, Florida, United States. It is home to Honeymoon Hill, the highest point on the mainland peninsula, Merritt Island. In some sections of the area, citrus groves grow between the Indian and Banana rivers. However, only 1 major road run's through the area, and that's CR 3, accessible by the Pineda Causeway. Both Lotus and Tropic are visible by the
Pineda Causeway, ether westbound or eastbound. That section of road is part of the Indian River Lagoon Scenic Highway system. Lotus is one of the wealthiest areas in Brevard County, with mansions located on the Indian River at the southern part of the area. Another wealthy area is at Tropic, south of the Pineda Causeway. During the beginning of the Space Age, it was later annexed into the larger Merritt Island.

Honeymoon Hill

Honeymoon Hill is the highest point on Merritt Island and thought to be the highest point in Brevard County that lays closest to the Atlantic Ocean. Honeymoon Hill is 35 feet tall at its apex, which rests on the shores of both Honeymoon Lake and the Banana River. Google Earth, mistakenly lists the elevation of the hill as being at sea level. The area on the eastern shore of Honeymoon Lake is known as Fairyland which was named after the expression "up to the heavens." Fairyland is known for its expensive homes resting on top of the hill, overlooking Tropical Trail. These homes can easily be seen from CR 515.
