Port Canaveral: nearby and inexpensive

[lotusbogardi]

Due to some home repairs going overbudget, hubby and I have decided to forego Aquatica and do activities nearby. We don't want to rent a car, but we can if need be. What can one do near PC that isn't "the beach", and is inexpensive?

due to a general lack of decent public transportation renting a car is probably your best bet

 

things/places you can look at (try google)

 

Kennedy Space Center (still a little $$)

Jetty Park - nice beach (oops, sorry, u said no beach)

Canaveral/Cocoa Pier - also nice beach and couple of bars

Cocoa Village - nice little 'quaint' shopping area

Brevard Zoo and Tree Top Trek - nice little zoo and a zip line attraction

assorted kayak tours - google kayak cocoa beach

Ron Jon - your are required, by law, to buy a Ron Jon t-shirt if a visitor

assorted airboat rides - google again . . .

Here are some other ideas:

 

 

1. A 2-hour boat ride on the Indian River Lagoon with Island Boat Lines http://www.islandboatlines.com/Home_Page.php

2. An airboat ride at Lone Cabbage Fish Camp http://www.twisterairboatrides.com/

 

Also Ron Jon's, as suggested by Capt_BJ, is a must.

 

Of course, you'll need a rental car for any of these.

You are going to need to rent a car unfortunately. I highly recommend the Brevard Zoo. (My sister volunteers there, my friends work concessions and my old elementary school made something called zoo school, so this is a biased suggestion...) They have a good zip line that I still have not done yet.

Kennedy Space center is expensive, only good if you never been there before otherwise it is very boring. Kayaking is fun, I own two kayaks and we sometimes go out on the Indian or Banana rivers.

You wont get any cheaper than the beach. Its free. Or ride bikes. You can rent them from a shop in cape canaveral. http://www.a1afunrentals.com
