Fun for big groups, cozy and eclectic seating outside and inside what used to be an auto shop. Homemade drink selection and craft beers on tap. Diverse fresh and healthy food variety, more than just the typical beach food joint. Fantastic tree with lights for a great sun-setting atmosphere hangout.

Shaded boardwalk trail through a Hammock in Melbourne, this park also is home to a cute butterfly garden and nature center. Great place to take a break from the beach or something to do during cooler weather. Shade makes it a feasible option in hotter months. Perfect for little feet!
