Situated right in Melbourne Harbour, this is a great "come as you are" type of restaurant for a decent burger and beer for a decent price. Friendly people. We recommend the Mahi-Reuben sandwich if you want to eat like a local. It will get busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Additional parking is available across the street at the park.

Don't be fooled by the unassuming exterior of this re-purposed gas station. This is the only place in Southern Brevard to get high quality, great tasting Florida seafood. A local gem passed over by most tourists, this place has got the market cornered on buttery seafood goodness. Extremely filling seafood starting at $10 per meal is unheard of. For the best eat-like-a-local experience, order the chef's shrimp trio (spicy) which gives you a variety of different local shrimp. The rock shrimp is also an amazing Brevard delicacy!

This is an upscale, farm-to-table, environmentally-conscious restaurant on the east end of downtown Melbourne known for its refined array of "green" and environmentally-friendly, but delectable selection of feel good food. Excellent for a romantic dinner or a relaxed outdoor lunch. The prices are a bit higher than the average eatery, but many people justify the value in the atmosphere, attentive wait-staff and the quality entrees. Best vegetarian dinner locally, we recommend the ratatouille.

This is one of the largest and best-managed beekeeping operation in Central Florida. They offer bee products for sale and love to share their knowledge of bees to visitors and kids. Great opportunity to help support locals and learn about nature in the process. Excellent honey, too! If you are heading to Orlando, take I-95 to the 520 and head straight north to get there and stop along the way. As always, check their website for hours of operation!

Brevard Zoo is a great place to take the kids. The zoo is very involved in the local community and offers great opportunities to learn about the local wildlife and volunteer. While it isn't the San Diego Zoo, this zoo has a decent variety of flora and fauna to enjoy in addition to its extremely popular zip-line and canopy treks that take you through the wooded zoo past many of the main zoo exhibits. A great adventure!

I have always intended to come back here. That is why I am doing so much to make a go of it.” Eau Gallie is just across the bridge from Indian Harbour Beach. You may not be able to tell just by driving past, but this charming art town has enchanted dozens of America's greatest thinkers.
