Barrier Island Center was a great place for viewing sea turtles. The center is well kept and all the people are very nice. There is also a nice wildlife sanctuary right across A1A. This is a family-friendly place.

Years ago a great surf guide John Detmer told me about this bait shop. I stopped in a few times and bought bait but nothing ever jumped out as great. This week I went with two friends, I was looking for either a new beach cart or new wheels for my 15 yr old Fish n Mate Jr. Let me tell you Collin was terrific!!! He answered our questions and was knowledgeable of the various carts and wheels. We went to purchase ONE set of wheels and left with new wheels for all THREE of our carts!!! He gave us some local fishing tips and encouraged us to fish locally. Collin was energetic, knowledgeable and polite! Glad we chose to shop at small family owned shop versus online or large store!!

Off A1A and south of Melbourne, FL on the way to Sebastian, this city park is situated on the beach. First off, there is plenty of parking. Second, clean and well appointed bathrooms allows for a shower and bathing suit changes. Third, outdoor showers to rinse sand as salt from everything. Then you get to the boardwalk. Nice, broad wooden ramp to allow wheelchairs, fishing carts etc., access to the beach without hassle. And the view is just stunning when the sun is up. You can clearly see different shades of green and blue water with birds all over the place. Hungry? No problem. "Billy's" mobile eatery serves excellent food right there. We have yet to see the beach dirty. It is a safe environment for families with a few gazebo's to rent for a special event. Hats off to the city's Parks Department!
