Satellite Beach Area Guide

The beauty of the Satellite Beach area, so named due to its proximity to Cape Canaveral, deserves to be explored further and our so, we at Happy Palm Stays have created this guide, giving our guests an idea of all the fun they can have while staying in our area vacation retreats. Offering white sand beaches, clear waters and a simple beauty that really can’t be found anywhere else on earth, we can assure you that although you may not have heard much about this small part of the Space Coast, you will find yourself enjoying a vacation that is filled with joy and fun Satellite Beach activities.  Our properties in this are reflect the beauty of the region and will provide the best way to start and end every day.

Activities/Attractions

Created in the boom period during the space races in the 50s, as close as it is to all the power and technology of NASA, it actually borders Patrick Space Force Base, it is the simple joys found in its natural surroundings that will help create the best memories. Spending a day watching the kiddos scramble over the jungle gyms, participating in a pickup game of sand volleyball, or enjoying a family picnic at Pelican Beach Park may be an activity repeated over and over again. Located at 1525 A1A Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway and offering a pristine stretch of beach, guests and residents enjoy using this park to celebrate special events.

Restaurants

Calories don’t count on vacation and when you are enjoying a Florida vacation, they count even less because we can assure you that you will be eating more seafood than normal! Fresh, sweet, and healthy, visitors can choose to include some sort of seafood in every meal at the restaurants listed below.

Breakfast or Lunch at Morning Glory Eatery, 1753 A1A Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway

An old Southern favorite shrimp and grits are on the menu all day, but you might also want to explore the incredible flavors of Morning Glory’s Crab Benedict, or, and we can’t recommend this high enough, their American Classic Breakfast Pizza will truly make you happy to be an American! 

Lunch or Dinner at Long Doggers, 1201 S Patrick Drive

We aren’t big on fancy here in the deep south, especially at mealtime, and no one understands that better than Long Doggers. Offering an extensive menu that includes hot dogs, seafood, tacos, and so much more, this is the spot you go to when you want simple comfort food and relaxed environment.

Special Dinners at CuiZine Restaurant & Lounge, 1790 A1A Jimmy Buffett Memorial Highway

Now, we just said that we aren’t big on fancy, but there are always going to be those special moments that you want to celebrate in grand style, and a meal at CuiZine Restaurant & Lounge is where we go to do just that. Offering an elevated menu of steak and seafood, there just isn’t any greater experience than sipping martinis as a pianist plays for his supper, helping you enjoy yours even more! 

Events

When you want to get a real feel for the place you are visiting, attending the special events or festivals that are held every year will help. Satellite Beach is a small town, offering a population of about 11,000 people (and at last count, astronaut celeb Buzz Aldren could be counted as one of the many!), and as such, many of the festivals we love are held in nearby towns. But every November is a special month for us, with the Satellite Beach Woman’s Club offering a celebration of Founder’s Day. Offering all the charms of a small town event, including a parade that honors not just the community and the people who had the foresight to look at our stretch of beach and think, “That area would make a wonderful town!” but today’s heroes, the military, the teachers, and everyone who has shaped the way our town looks today. The parade will start off at DeLaura Middle School and the DRS Community Center will house a vendor market featuring over 200 craft and specialty vendors, making it the ideal spot to visit and to get an early start on your Christmas shopping.
