Indialantic is a small beach community located on the barrier islands of Florida. There are several public beach accesses along A1A (Our favorite is Pelican Beach!). The Hilton also has a beautiful private beach access that we recommend for all guests staying there.
The reason why they call us Florida's Space Coast! The Kennedy Space Center is very special to Michelle's family as it is the reason they moved to Florida in 1965. Nunee, Michelle's grandfather, was an engineer on the Saturn 5 rocket. That rocket is still on display in the KSC alongside the Space Shuttle Atlantis!
Melbourne's local brewery located just across the Eau Gallie Causeway and a 7 minute drive from the Hilton. Intracoastal (Intra for short) is a staple in the McNeight Family. We recommend The Dragon Point IPA, Space Coast Light and Orange A Peel beers. If you're going to Intracoastal, be sure to ask Michelle's brother Andrew to join - he never passes up a trip to Intra!

Just a 5 minute drive from the Hilton is one of Michelle's all time favorite breakfast places! Growing up, Nona and Nunee would take us to the Blueberry Muffin on Sunday mornings if we woke up early and went to 7:15am Mass with them. It was quite the treat! Make sure you try their delicious muffins (and get a few extras to share with the Bride!)
Also a five minute drive from the Hilton is one of our favorite restaurants for lunch and dinner on the Beachside! Known for its surfer friendly cuisine, LongDoggers offers a wide range of meals and something delicious for everyone. (Ryan enjoys the seafood options and Michelle loves their Cool Ranch Chicken Sandwich. Make sure to order the fries, too!)
Enjoy delicious soft serves and other ice cream treats!
Ryan's recommendation of course :) Victory Casino is Florida’s most authentic Las Vegas-style gambling cruise experience. Sailing out out Port Canaveral Daily.
For those looking for a true Florida experience, there's nothing like taking an airboat ride across the Florida swamp. Rides last for either 30, 60 or 90 minutes and we recommend calling in advance to make a reservation. You'll see plenty of gators and can even try some gator tail after your ride.
A new restaurant to the Beachside, BB's sits right on the beach and has a great bar and delicious food. It is the perfect place to enjoy the ocean without getting sand in your lunch. Please note, there is no indoor seating. We recommend the fish tacos, kabobs and smash burger.
Explore the Space Coast's most famous beach and World Famous Surf Shop! We recommend grabbing lunch at Coconuts on the Beach and browsing through Ron Jon's Surf Shop.
