Many people who visit the Space Coast do so for a variety of reasons...maybe they want to see a rocket launch....some come for our great weather...the beach calls many here...surfing is a big draw...and of course Brevard County is a great place to see a manatee or sea turtles. When it comes to viewing sea turtles you might not find a better place to start then James H. Nance Park in Indialantic, FL. The park is loaded with amenities...from the beach of course to a beach volleyball stadium with seating for fans to a children's playground and of course showers and bathroom facilities. Nance Park is also within walking distance of beach style shopping, restaurants (Bizzaro's Pizza will make you think you are in NYC), and 5th Ave (Indialantic's shopping and eating district). The Sea Turtle...

Lou's Blues in Indialantic, FL is very unique to the Space Coast. It is a place that attracts all age groups (you will see 20 somethings mixing with 60 somethings)...has little to do with its name (honestly, I have been to the place many times and have only heard one group I would qualify as a blues band)...gets truly packed out almost every night...yet seems to have the most remarkable service you will find. Trying to explain this very eclectic night spot is not easy...but here I go: 1. Two levels of fun...downstairs (especially on weekends) will be a dance party for all ages with a long bar and large dance floor. 2. Upstairs...The band is upstairs...but it is open in the middle so you can see if from both levels. Surprisingly the upstairs is slightly more subdued with tables around t...

I must admit...I am a bit of a health food junkie. This does not mean that I will not eat chicken wings or burgers...every once in a while you just gotta do it :) ...but most nights you will find me eating healthy meals that (gasp) I prepare myself. I wish we had more places that carried healthy options...including our grocery stores that have a limited supply of organic fresh vegetables and meats. Beachside Produce in Indialantic is one of my go to places to get fresh fruit, vegetables and more. They carry very reasonably priced chicken...they have a large selection of special nuts, grains and spices...all offered in a quick, easy and friendly manor. Here is a quick tip...see if they have any of the fresh cake-loafs by the front counter...they are under $5 and really good. Beachside P...

In the south Brevard beach area we have quite a few townhome and condo communities. Some of them offer a wide array of amenities (like pools, tennis courts, exercise facilities, clubhouses and more). Some offer a very limited package that will usually include common area landscaping and maintenance...Burns Village fits with those communities that offer a small package of amenities...along with very low HOA (Home Owner Association) fees ($65 a month). Burns Village has a wonderful Indian Harbour Beach location (just north of Eau Gallie Blvd..half way between the bridge and the beach) near shopping, restaurants, the beach, the river and Gleason Park. All the homes within Burns Village are either two or three bedroom townhomes...most with two full baths...some two stories with 2.5 baths. ...

I have been coming to Bunky's for quite some time...in fact I have been to all three South Brevard beach incarnations of the place (the first two locations were in Satellite Beach...and the last move just south to Indialantic happened a few years ago). Bunky's is a place that is built for fun...nothing fancy...a huge bar area that seems to rarely have an open seat available and a large dining room with plenty of large TV's to watch big games while you eat and or drink the day away. The food here is quite good...raw bar selections...great wings made to order...burgers, sandwiches,salads and plenty of seafood selections. They have a really nice lunch menu with specials priced at $6.99 (try the Tortilla Pizza...it is really good). With a huge selction of draft beers and a large offering o...

We have quite a few very nice condo buildings from the Pineda Causeway in Satellite Beach...all the way down to south Melbourne Beach...the Villager Condo in Indialantic is a great example of area beachfront condo living. The apartments in the Villager are between 1200 and 1500 sqft 2 bedrooms and 2 baths. About 3/4 of the apartments have full to partial ocean view. The building was built in 1975 so you will find different levels of upgrade in every condo you see here (some have been fully re-done...while others have never had any upgrades at all). What sets the Villager apart from many of the other buildings along the beach is the great Indialantic location. It is within walking distance of restaurants, parks, shops, the beach (of course) and much more. The complex is loaded with amen...

OK...full disclosure...I lived in South Florida in the early 80's and ventured down to Miami for college. On most afternoons I would stop by one of the many hole in the wall (literally...they would be a hole in the wall with a picnic table or two in front) Cuban restaurants that would serve amazing food, Cuban coffee and flan for dessert...all for ridiculously low prices. Cuban food soon became one of my favorite ethnic foods and remains that way till this day. One of the issues with Cuban food is that for some unknown reason it has not caught on like say Mexican food has. Of course in Miami you can find a restaurant on almost every corner...but as you venture north even in the State of Florida you will have few options. Thankfully in Indialantic, FL we have a new contender...and it is...

The Coral Palm Condo in Indialantic, FL is not only a beautiful well located beachfront building...it is close to everything from shopping (Walmart, Winn Dixie grocery store, Publix, and much more) to parks (Canova Beach Park and Paradise Beach Park are both close by), restaurants, hotels, live music (Lou's Blues is within walking distance) and much more. The Condo's in the Coral Palm range from a little over 2000 sqft to 3500 sqft Penthouse options. The prices usually range from right around $300k to well over 800k for a penthouse. The building was built in 2003 and its newer well appointed condo apartments appeal to those looking for upscale beachfront living. The "A-rated" schools in Indialantic as well as close by private schools appeal to families. The very nice amenities package ...

Indialantic, FL is a very interesting community. The first thing you need to know about the area before moving here is that it has two very distinct parts...one...Indialantic by the Sea is really Indialantic proper...that is the City. The other area in really part of the County of Brevard and not part of the City. The folks who live in the City of Indialantic by the Sea will be happy to point out the boundaries to you...lol In the City the place to live near...especially if you have children (keep in mind all the schools that feed Indialantic are "A-rated" so families always put the area on their shopping list) is Orlando Park. Orlando Park is a 2.39 acre park in the heart of the area. It has a few nice amenities like a children's playground, a picnic area, a basketball court, a gazebo...

The Sanctuary is one of my favorite communities in the South Brevard Beach area. It is located in Indialantic...just south of the Eau Gallie Causeway. The location is ideal for those commuting to the mainland side...while still allowing VERY close proximity to the beaches. The Sanctuary is a gated community that has a nice array of amenities. A clubhouse that includes activities like happy hours and meeting facilities...two tennis courts for residents...and a community pool that is open nightly until 10pm (note: no lifeguards). The Sanctuary feeds all "A-Rated" schools from elementary through high school so this is a very popular community for those who are looking at public schools for their children. The price range is the sanctuary generally runs from the mid 200's up to over half a...

Obviously any community that is oceanfront in Florida is almost expected to have decent seafood. Indialantic, FL is no exception...and one of the better seafood restaurants on the Space Coast is Island Fish Grill in Indialantic. Island Fish Grill has a nice menu with quite a few different seafood (mostly Fish) options...they also carry a bunch of nightly specials so make sure your server does a good job of telling you about them. The Onion Crusted Grouper is fantastic!!! This is not a cheap place to eat...and I would suggest you make this a date night or special occasion place. It is fine to bring kids but I can't say that I recommend that...the menu is not very kid friendly. My recommendation...bring a date, corporate clients, birthday fun, etc...(leave the kids at home :) Entrees ten...

Many small neighborhoods dot the South Brevard Beach area from the Pineda Causeway down to the South Melbourne Beaches. One Such neighborhood is Sea Side in Indialantic, FL. Have you ever dreamed of living in a small enclave of homes with no through traffic...all beautifully maintained homes, all with tile roofs...very affordable...and have it be directly across the street from the beach? Sea Side might just be what your looking for! Before you get too excited let me give you some bad news...Sea Side has only 22 homes in this small section...and they rarely go up for sale. In fact...since it has been a couple of years since anything has been available I can only guess at a price range. The homes all range from a little over 1500 sqft to a little over 2000 sqft. The prices should range ...

Quite a few good happy hours exist in the Melbourne, FL area...especially in Downtown Melbourne. Many also exist along the Space Coast....but in the South Brevard beach area we have only a few good options. That being said...if you are looking for a place that is a little more sophisticated and has a bit more of an upscale clientele...the place for you may be City Tropics. City Tropics is located in Indialantic, FL...directly on 5th Ave (5th Ave is the main drag in Indialantic). It has two bar areas...one inside and one tiki style area outside. City Tropics also offers a full bar style menu as well as a very nice Sushi bar. The food is good, the Sushi is decent...and the drinks are downright cheap...how about $2 domestic beers until 7pm!!!! If you are looking for a nice low pressure pl...

Howard E. Futch Memorial Park...aka...Paradise Beach Park in Indialantic is a public beach park about 1/2 mile south of Eau Gallie...and a couple of miles north of the 5th Ave Causeway...on Hwy A1A. This park is loaded with amenities like a large children's playground area, lots of beach volleyball courts, multiple BBQ areas, Covered party patio areas, showers, bathroom facilities, and more. The beach at Paradise Beach Park is lifeguard protected so it is a great choice for those with children or women who are heading to the beach alone. One of the real benefits to Paradise Beach Park over some of the other close by beach front parks is the large FREE parking lot that is available to users. It is also directly across the street from a group of restaurants and bars that include Bunky's,...

Anyone who follows my blog and blog posts know that I enjoy an occasional drink on an outdoor covered patio as well as a great burger...in Indialantic, FL I have found both in one place...Ichabod's Bar & Grille! Now burgers are not the only thing Ichabod's serves on it's menu...the nachos are enormous...enough for three or four good eaters, the chicken sandwich is outstanding, and the fish tacos are a good choice. Ichabod's has a large selection for lunch and dinner. The burgers here are real standouts...they are absolutely some of the best in the South Brevard Beach area. Here is a link to their menu: http://ichabodsbarandgrille-florida.com/page6.html Ichabod's has both a large indoor bar area as well as an outdoor covered patio bar with additional tables. This is a great area to have...

....Sometimes you just want to have a big breakfast and not drive too far to get it. In Indialantic, FL that place is the Blueberry Muffin! The Blueberry Muffin serves breakfast and lunch daily and the reasonably priced menu with large portions and great specials make this the "place to go" on the south Brevard beaches. The blueberry muffins are fine...but try one of the chocolate chip muffins if they are available when you go...they are amazing. ...an FYI for those with kids...my grade school son says they have the best pancakes he has ever had...since that is the only thing he orders whenever we go out for breakfast...it is high praise indeed! A couple of points about the Blueberry Muffin: 1. Come early: it tends to get very crowded and the wait can be a little long. 2. They have cou...

My son and I decided to check out the best pizza in the area. He is nine years old...so pizza is his favorite food! I guess it would likely fit in the top ten of most favorite food lists :) First we had some ground rules...no mass produced pizza (Pizza Hut, Papa Johns, Little Ceasars, Dominos...we elimanted these because we figured they had zero chance of being the best). Second we felt we should order a slice...or a large pizza only (a medium or a small pizza can tend to have a thicker crust). Third...only thin crust pizza...the best deep dish is another blog post.   here is our decision on the top two places we found (from the 13 pizza restaurants we visited in the last 30 days...lol).   Bizzarro's: Indialantic, FL The original Bizzarro's on the beach at 5th Ave in Indialantic is stil...
