Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 579 reviews
When entering the store you are instantly taken back at the effects from the floors which catapult you into feeling as though you are walking on, or flying above the tropical greenish fish laden waters of the Caribbean or the Florida Keys. Enhancing this effect is the eclectic Key West and Island Lifestyle feel of the decor around you as you gaze upon the selection of Key Lime Beers, Key Lime Cooler Cookies, Key Lime Candies, Key Lime Candles, Key Lime Chocolates, Key Lime Pretzels, Key Lime Wines and a selection of over 500+ different Hot Sauces, Grilling Sauces and Marinades. There is Fresh Locally made “Gator Jerky” and “Python Jerky” which is made with a slight smokey flavor and lightly spicy finish. Unlike any other store in Florida or the United States for that matter, upon entering you are greeted and treated as though you are visiting an enchanted island and given a guided tour of the store as an attraction of a working gourmet dessert production facility.

What a great time at this awesome pub! Food was pretty good. The mushy peas were outstanding. Love that they offer Kilkenny on tap. The singer, Carroll Brown is one of the best. Really enjoyed the music. Skip the coffee.

Great selection of surfing and beach items. Large, two story store that is very well laid out, items organized, easy to navigate, clean and the staff is very friendly, professional and helpful. Plenty of checkout registers so you don’t have to wait to pay for your purchases. Prices are reasonable, and their is parking available, but the spaces are usually full do to the high volume of business this store generates. Ron Jon’s is open 24 hours a day. Great location on A1A, Cocoa Beach, Florida.

We used to visit here a lot but then haven’t been for about 10 years. It’s a great place to park but it fills very quickly this visit we were about to leave and found a space. There are picnic tables, children’s play areas, rest rooms and beach access.

We moved here in late December and one of the first things we did was get library membership. We looked forward to exploring this amazing local source as we got to know our new home - but then the pandemic came! Can't wait to spend time there - researching the area history, flora and fauna - movies, books, periodicals, and classes by local artists and other experts. Hope it can open again soon.
