LOCAL DINING
Groceries:
The Cumberland Gas station has a decent selection of emergency items.
We usually shop at the Publix on North Atlantic.
They do have curbside and in-store pickup available. And a tasty key lime pie in the bakery.
Publix, 5645 N Atlantic Ave, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931
​
The Winn-Dixie is just a bit further, and usually a little lower-priced.
​
Please note: hard liquor is generally not sold in grocery stores in Florida. You will need to visit a liquor store (usually next to a grocery store) for rum, tequila, etc.

Port Canaveral
Sunrise Marina
Make sure you stop at Sunrise before/after you eat to check out the gift selection and learn about the lion fish. Some of the restaurants can reach you buzzer while you shop!
Old Town Cocoa Village
Bier Garden
We really enjoy the Von Stephan Bier Garden in Cocoa. Good menu, great location, good beers. Eat/drink first, then walk around and discover the shops.
Ossorio
This is our favorite stop for coffee and pastries. We've never had the lunch menu, but can't imagine anything there is not amazing!
Crydermans
This is a fantastic BBQ joint. You can take family-style meals to go or order individual servings. They also have a market with fresh meat, etc.
