We spend a couple months in Cocoa Beach each year, and From Olives & Grapes is a must for us. From Olives & Grapes carries a wide variety of flavored oils that are great for cooking, grilling, making dressings, etc. You can taste all of the oils before purchasing and the staff are always very friendly and helpful. We stock up on bottles of oil for the year and they’ll even ship to your house. We highly recommend them! -The Power Trippers

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!

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.

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.

Looks very small from the outside but there was much more inside than expected. Very interesting exhibits ranging from dinosaurs to space exploration. Lots of information on Floida's Atlantic coast with shell exhibits and a 22 acre natural wildlife trail that was handicap accessible. Museum was very clean with friendly and helpful staff. There was even a small play area for little ones!
