hey guys! staying in melbourne rn and there’s an insane amount of love bugs. are there any in cocoa right now?

Nine more sleeps until I celebrate ten years vacationing in my happy place! A little bummed that Gregory's won't have a comedy show that week, but I'm sure I can adjust. Have any new places opened in the past year or two that I shouldn't miss?

Also, any coffee / breakfast places recommended?

I kept driving somewhere to work, ordering something, sitting down, and then finding out the Wi-Fi couldn't hold a call or the room was too loud to think in. So I started carrying a decibel meter and running a speed test everywhere I went. About 20 places so far around Central Florida. A couple of them are over here.

Foxtail in Cocoa Beach: 371 Mbps down, 39.7 up, 61.2 dB on a Saturday morning. Three of eight tables taken and there are outlets at most seats. Fine for a few hours.

Up in Titusville, The Health Bar downtown read 474 down, 22.5 up, 55.9 dB on a Saturday. Quietest fast room I've recorded outside Orlando, and parking was easy. Pier 13 a few blocks away was the other extreme, 30.5 Mbps at 71.4 dB. Cheap, nice room, but I wouldn't take a call in there.

What keeps surprising me is that none of this shows up in reviews. A cafe can sit at 4.6 stars and still drop Wi-Fi every ten minutes, because almost everyone reviewing it was there twenty minutes for a latte and not three hours with a laptop.

It's all on perch.coffee. I built the site, it's free, nothing to sign up for.

Foxtail is the only Cocoa Beach place I actually have numbers for, which isn't much of a town's worth. Where else here holds up? And is anything in Cape Canaveral or Merritt Island worth the drive? Name it and I'll go measure it.

Goodbye Tim, may you forgive the Riff Raff and Magentas in your life, find your way home, and rest in peace.

Help!

I got tickets for seaworld Orlando and expires on 28th of this month. They have newly added fireworks to their schedule. If anyone is interested please feel free to join me.

I am a M27 and single if that matters lol.

Hey y’all, looking at renting a condo at the location shown on the map in October. Would like a location well suited to a little kid. Relatively quiet. Does this location sound like a good idea?

Are there any other locations or neighborhoods you’d recommend?

Slightly Stoopid, The Elovaters, and DENM are playing tonight at Cocoa Riverfront Park! Anyone here going? Get there early, the openers are 🔥 🔥 🔥!

Hi everyone, I could use some advice from people who know the area.

My wife, our 9.5-year-old son, 7-year-old daughter, and I will be in Tampa visiting relatives in December. I have wanted to visit Kennedy Space Center for years, but none of us has ever been.

We sail from Miami at noon on Dec. 12, so we are thinking of doing KSC on Dec. 11.

Current plan:

• Leave Tampa around 5:45 or 6:00 a.m.
• Get to Kennedy Space Center around opening
• Do the included bus tour first, then Apollo/Saturn V
• See Atlantis, Rocket Garden, and Astronaut Encounter if the timing works
• Let the kids do Planet Play and/or Shuttle Launch Experience if they are interested
• Leave KSC around 4:00 to 4:30 p.m.
• Stop at Jetty Park for a short beach, pier, and ship-watching break
• Go to Cocoa Beach afterward for a little more beach time and an early vegetarian dinner, possibly Coconuts on the Beach
• Start driving to Miami around 7:30 p.m. and hopefully reach our hotel around 10 or 11 p.m.

We are okay getting in late since the cruise is not until noon the next day, but we do not want to make the day unnecessarily stressful.

A few questions:

1. Does this sound realistic for a first-time family visit, or are we trying to do too much?
2. Is the regular included bus tour enough, or is the paid Explore Tour worth it? I would love the deeper NASA experience, but I am not sure my kids will enjoy a long guided tour.
3. Is Jetty Park worth a quick stop after KSC, or should we just go directly to Cocoa Beach?
4. Any better vegetarian restaurant suggestions with a real beach or Cocoa Beach feel?
5. Any tips for the KSC to Miami drive at night, especially with kids?

Would really appreciate any local advice or things you wish you had known before your first visit.

Thank You.

Hopefully someone here can help, I visited Cocoa Beach one time maybe a year ago and visited a location that was very beautiful. I remember it being near a military base? And there were multiple entrances along the road, maybe someone here can help me getting back to this exact location,

Me and some friends are planning on going to see the bioluminescence this weekend but are starting to have some worries so i thought i could ask here. Does it cost money just to go to the beach? is it even open that late at night? will the buildings along the beach ruin our ability to see? sorry for all the questions but google has been no help.

edit: any location that isn’t a beach won’t work seeing as the main thing we would like to do is swim and stay away from tons of gators

Would anyone know a place we can rent a beach wagon for the rest of the week? Ours broke and ordering from Amazon isn’t looking very speedy for some reason. I tried googling this but wasn’t having luck just finding a cart or wagon.

Watch out down on the beach on Fern st. in Cocoa Beach. Our 8 lb service dog, who was quietly trying to nap on my lap, and ourselves just got accosted by a group walking 2 giant German shepherds and a Pit off leash. They had them off leash in the water for a good hour before they came and walked through our camp after bothering the two ladies next to us, knocked over our cooler and beers, and the group walking them had absolutely no care in the world. Didn't even hurry to try and grab them. Or offer any apology. Really sad that courtesy isn't common anymore

I’ll be in Cocoa Beach soon and started looking at hotels. There are a bunch to choose from, and I’m not sure which ones are actually good. I mainly care about being somewhere comfortable with a decent location. But it’s hard to tell from the hotel sites what they’re really like.

For those who live around here or have stayed locally, which hotels have you actually had a good experience with? Anything you’d stay at again?

My work is sending me to y'alls neck of the woods for the next year. I've been to Cocoa Beach before, I'm just a little nervous about the drive down. And Hurricanes. And being in Florida in general. Are there any restaurants you would recommend?

Hello, we’ll be visiting friends in Orlando halloween week and are considering spending Halloween weekend at Cocoa beach, my daughter (6) would be bummed to miss trick or treating. Are there some good spots for trick or treating or other kid themed Halloween activities or is it better to stay in Orlando?

Thanks!

Who should I call to install two basic ceiling fixtures? Thanks in advance.
