One of the nicest beaches in my opinion. Does get crowded during the summer but the water and sand is always so nice. They have a great boardwalk also to walk on also. Clean bathrooms and who doesn't love the beach when visiting Florida.

Perfect for those outdoor enthusiasts who want to see some Florida wildlife on the water front. Some can spot manatee, dolphins, bald eagles, other birds, and more.

A must for anybody visiting the space coast of Florida or even Orlando as it's only an hour drive away. It is what we are known for and it's a must to check it out. Look out for when they are doing launches also. They are the coolest to watch.

This is a must for a very casual lunch spot when visiting downtown melbourne. Where the locals go to get specialty hot dogs. The Chicago dog never disappoints especially with some cheese fries.

Also located in Melbourne is this very cool restaurant. Inspired by you guess it Ernest Hemingway. It is key west style vibes and decorated heavily. New American, Cuban and island style in food. Have to try the key lime Martini if you like to enjoy...

What most come for in Florida is the waterfront. This restaurant is waterfront and does have views of the cruise ships and if you time it right a rocket launch. They are a more casual style food and drink.
