Favorite Restaurant: Grills Seafood Deck & Tiki Bar
Favorite hidden gem: The bioluminescence tours, they are pure magic. As you paddle through the water at night, every stroke lights up with a glowing blue-green shimmer, thanks to tiny organisms in the lagoon. It’s peaceful, surreal, and one of the most unforgettable ways to experience Florida’s natural beauty.
What people would be surprised to learn about the Space Coast? Brevard County, FL—is not just about space launches. In addition to being home to Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral, it's also rich in natural beauty, with over 70 miles of coastline, the largest sea turtle nesting area in the U.S., and the biodiverse Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. Plus, the area has a growing arts and culture scene, charming historic downtowns like Eau Gallie and Cocoa Village, and even surfing history—Kelly Slater, an 11-time world champion surfer, hails from Cocoa Beach.
Describe your perfect day in Cocoa Beach: My perfect day in Cocoa Beach would start with breakfast at Cafe Surfinista, followed by a few relaxing hours on the beach. After soaking up the sun, I’d head to Grills for lunch or an early dinner, then wrap up the day with drinks at some of the local beach bars.
