A Day at Port Canaveral!

Port Canaveral is the perfect day trip from the Orlando area! Whether you are headed out on a cruise (in the future), looking to go on a deep sea fishing excursion, spend the afternoon at one of the three parks, enjoy Exploration Tower or one of the many restaurants or bars, Port Canaveral is a very Florida way to spend time outside!

The Cove, located inside Port Canaveral, is your waterfront destination to enjoy shore side fishing, restaurants, Exploration Tower, parks and a great viewing spot to boat/ship watch.
Exploration Tower has 7 floors of exhibits and interactive games, café, and gift shop. There are also indoor and outdoor observation decks that look over the port.

An afternoon at the port would not be complete without enjoying some fresh from Florida seafood -seafood that comes directly from dock to the restaurant kitchen to your table! We stopped by Rusty's Seafood and Oyster Bar, located right on the water in The Cove.

The Fischer family, which owns Rusty's, has been in the restaurant business since 1948 - opening one of the first restaurants in Cocoa Beach.  

I have no ties to Rusty's so believe me when I say, Oh my goodness!  This was the best shrimp! So fresh, and so much of it!  This is definitely on my list of favorites! If you are looking for fancy, this is not the place but if you love fresh, delicious seafood, then I would highly recommend!
​
Pro Tip: Go for the shrimp or fish basket, both were awesome!

Located on the northeast side of the Port, is the home of the U.S. Space Force, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station.  You can only go as far as the sign, but, how cool is this? History in the making, for sure!

Spotted from the waterside deck of Rusty's, the Disney Dream - the lone ship in port! There was black smoke coming out of one of the smoke stacks, so, it's alive!!!

Pro Tip:  Eat an early dinner so you can catch one of Florida's gorgeous sunsets!
