Finally, the beach - Cherie Down Park!!
After we left Kennedy Space Center we made our way to the ocean and found the most perfect beach area. (Well I spent a lot of time researching area beaches before we left and settled on a neighborhood park beach area that would not be full of tourists). The park had a free parking lot, bathrooms, showers for rinsing (which we learned were not working) as well as grills and shelters for public use. We easily found a parking spot and the beach area was not very busy at all. We were clearly some of the few tourists in this section. We were on part of the space coast beach area so we could see the Kennedy Space center in the distance and were also very close to where the port for cruise ships. We watched 2 cruise ships sail off to sea.

After a not so fast and very sweaty change to our regular clothes we headed out to a small seafood restaurant/bar on the pier. It was essentially in the port for all of the cruise ships and was a very local place to eat and drink. Matt had a shrimp reuben sandwich and I had bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp skewers. SO DELICIOUS! The kids had grilled cheese sandwiches. ;)
