Some great Melbourne area Restaurant choices on our Waterfront Melbourne Florida Restaurant Top Pick page - "Reviews" - Pictures - Tips.Melbourne Tip 3
Nearby Airport - Melbourne International Airport - is only 8 miles southwest of Satellite Beach. It is a newer, clean, "peaceful" Airport that Delta, NorthWest, American, and US Airways now fly into. Melbourne Airport is about 16 miles southwest of Cocoa Beach so it is very convenient - and has much shorter check-in lines than Orlando International!!!Check out current Air Fares into Melbourne (MLB) to see if is worth paying a few dollars more for the convenience and to miss the conjestion and waiting time of big Orlando International!
Several Major Car Rental Companies are inside the spacious newer Terminal. Usually Orlando Air Fares are a bit less, but sometimes the fare into Melbourne Vs Orlando (MCO) is almost the same -- occasionally Delta is even a bit less.
BIG Tip!! - Florida Airline / Rental Car Travel Tip - could be a BIG Money Saving Tip depending on your itinerary -- Recently discovered from Delta Airlines that Delta and most other airlines will currently let you fly INTO one City in Florida and OUT OF another City in Florida and count it rate wise as a Regular Round Trip due to there being so much vacation travel into and out of Florida.Really good news is that most Car Rental Companies now use the same rule! -- you can pick up car at one location in Florida and drop off at another in Florida and get "return to same location" lower rates.
BIG help! For example, we recently were able to fly into Jacksonville, FL and rent a car to start trip with 3 days in nearby St. Augustine, FL -- and then return the Rental car to Melbourne, FL airport where we flew out of after our week stay at a nearby Cocoa Beach Condo -- all at "Round Trip" Rates! Check it out on your next Florida Vacation!
Ron Jon Surf Shop - At north end of Cocoa Beach at 4151 Atlantic Avenue (also Hwy A1A). World famous large 2 acre shop with all kinds of swimwear, sportswear, and beach gear for all ages. Open 24 hours a day 365 days a year. A popular Florida Cocoa Beaches shopping trip.
