Port Canaveral Questions

[Mom2Princesses]

Are there any grocery stores/drug stores near the port, preferably within walking distance of the hotels?

Are there any points of interest that would be "must sees" for a family of four, with children ages 6 & 4?

Thanks!

Click on the link below to Dave's site. This will show you where some of the local businesses are in the port area.

I agree with Andy - use Dave's maps and you'll find just what you need. We usually go the Publix and have found everything we've needed to stock up before the cruise.

As for "don't miss" type of things. I would definately check out Ron Jons - this surf shop is now open 24/7 and is a Cocoa Beach institution. Fun to look at the old pictures of when it was just a shack.

If you are arriving Saturday for a Sunday cruise then I would say make your way over the channel either going to Grills or Rustys for dinner or head to Jetty Park to watch the Saturday ships (like the Magic leave) - that is a great way to get a Wonder cruise started!

Verandah Man/Andy - Thank You so MUCH! That map is what I have been looking for all over the place...it pays to "know" people on the DIS boards!


WDWLVR- Yes, Ron Jon's is on my list. My husband says he has seen some crude T-Shirts on other people that he has to have! You can't take the boy out of the man! Got to love'em!

Thanks Again!
