Cocoa Beach Must-Dos?

[TDC Calvin]

We are flying in the night before our up-coming cruise and plan on staying at the Inn at Cocoa Beach. I cancelled our Tiffany Towncar for the MCO->PC porition and are now renting a Budget car. This was done because I wanted to look around Cocoa Beach before we left and felt that not having a car was constraining us.

So Cocoa Beach Experts...

What are some of the not-to-miss stuff we can do at Cocoa Beach? We should be arriving around 5 or 5:30 so the Space Center isn't possible. We are planning (currently) on stopping at the Manatee area, doing Ron Jon and perhaps eating at Grill's.

Anything that you feel we should skip? Anything else we should do?

Roberto's Little Havana would be a nice change of pace. We don't have very many Cuban restaurants here in Oklahoma. Anyone eaten there and what were your thoughts?

Well you've mentioned two things we've done and enjoyed. Shopping at Ron Jon's and eating at Grills!

We ate at Roberto's in January and it was fantastic. While we do have quite a few Cuban restaurants here in Naples, I felt that they were one of the best that I've ever been to. The service was top notch and we really enjoyed ourselves. It's very casual there and the prices were great.

Dr. Bellows,
Glad to hear Mjr. Nelson is still in the area, by the way, is that little cutie "Genie" still living there with him? She's lots of fun to visit, much less up tight then her friend!
