5.     Beach Day!

If you are heading out to Cocoa Beach to catch some rays and enjoy some time with friends, make sure you leave early! The beaches can get packed in the summer, especially on holiday weekends. Looking for a place to grab a nice drink while getting a tan? Try Coconuts on the beach for some great drink specials and loud music. If you are feeling the Memorial Day spirit and want some BBQ, try Slow & Low Barbeque on Orlando Ave for some finger-licking BBQ,( they also have Gluten-Free!)
