    Ideal opportunity to visit the Kennedy Space Center without the drive over I would have thought. The Merritt Isle conservation is also one of the best places outside of the Everglades to see alligators ikn the wild. We have never been there once without seeing one. The last time we were there we saw one about 7 foot.

    We were looking for a cafe that overlooked the beach-so we were a bit disappointed that we didn't find one.

    Maybe we needed to drive further down I don't know-but we parked near Ron Jon's which is on a busy road.

    I didn't know you could drive along the beach though -so we missed a treat there-as we have done that at Daytona.

    Have to have another trip now!

    OB, if you go down there again, then when you get to the lights where you would turn right to Ron Jon's (if my memory serves me correctly), then keep going along the 'beach' road and pull into the Holiday Inn. Out the back, and on the beach, they used to have a little coffee shop/bar/cafe out on the boardwalk overlooking the beach.

    Now, I am going back maybe 8-10 years here, but I'm sure they wouldn't have taken away that feature[8D][8D]

    The hotel features alot in the UK brochures, so maybe you could take a look at one online.

    Thanks for details.

    Is Ron Jons close to the Cocoa Beach Pier?

    Cheers [msnsmile2]

    We had a meal at the grill, it was the best food i have had over the 17 days i was out there, its 3 miles up by the ferry ports, it took 1 hour to wait but it had a live group on, really good value and not expensive.

    We have stayed at Cocca Beach at the Holiday Inn.

    An evening eating and drinking on the pier ... fantastically relaxing, average food, but friendly and a great view to die for. Try a beer sitting at the small bar on the end of the pier late in the afternoon to relax, it was great way to unwind.

    Cheers

    Thanks Barry,

    I can almost taste the beer, and I have another 3 weeks to wait.

    Cheers
