Parrot's Cove Mall

We are an upscale vendors mall with over 10,000 sqft of shopping delight! Leisurely meander through the store, winding from one vendor booth to another. Each differ from the last. We're not your typical "everything's white and distressed" shop. Don't get us wrong, we definitely have that! But there is SO much more! You have to stop in and see it all in person!

Instagator Airboat Rides

This is an airboat ride eco tour through the St John River in Cocoa FL. We see an abundance of plant and animal life including alligators. My airboat is brand new and extremely powerful going into areas most cannot get to. It seats only 6 passengers and has live headsets for communication throughout the ride. Iced down bottled water is provided and passengers can bring their own if they wish!

If you are interested in pirate and maritime history this is the place to go. The outside of the museum is deceptive. It looks small but it is packed with amazing, real artifacts and a guided tour. Interesting collection of historic weapons to include a cannon believed to have belonged to Blackbeard. The museum is set up like a pirate ship. They also have a lot of shipwreck items. The scavenger hunt was fun and after completing we received a "booty bag". Many hands on exhibits. In the attached pirate store they have pirate related clothing, games, books, toys and jewelry. Great prices. They also have a room called "Blackbeard's Closet of Curiosities" where you can purchase antiques and oddities from all over the world. Great place if you are looking for an unusual gift. They have now added a gallery with antique maritime paintings. We understand they will be adding an escape room at the end of summer.

In all of the years that we've gone to Cocoa Beach, we've never gone to Cocoa Village. This trip we fixed that, and we loved it! So many little shops, bars, and restaurants. We'll be frequent visitors from now on!

Sound of music a wonderful classic and it was a great performance last night. It's hard to believe that the performers, seamster, orchestra and stage hands are all volunteers. We have attended several performances and they were all wonderful. This is a classic a must see.
