Later in the afternoon, we decided to wander on over to Cocoa Beach Pier. We have not been there in several years. Actually the last time was probably 2011 or 2012, when our friends Nathan and Krystal came and stayed with us a couple of days. On the way there Trump Supporters were out and about cheering. Drivers were honking horns , yelling Go Trump, and giving the Thumbs UP!!
Pier has really changed so much, and the Rikki Tikki Hut at the end of the pier obviously was damaged in the Hurricane, so we could not walk all the way out. Parking is $10 (what a rip off).......but as we were getting ready to pay, people in a car that was leaving told us to wait and use their spot it still had several hours left....THEN another couple stopped us, and gave us a pass to walk out on the pier and not have to pay $2 per person. Really are some considerate people out there.........
Here are some pictures from the day.
Trump Supporters
Arriving at Cocoa Beach Pier
Tons of places to sit along the pier, both on the peir and under cover ......
Lots of people outside on the pier enjoying a drink......lots of people fishing off the dock. Can rent poles for fishing.......and the keep track of the fish caught each day. This picture show the roof of the bar at the end of the dock - serious damage!!! Unfortunately we could no walk to the end..........
There are some great views from the pier. If you look off to the south there was a really nice beach - and lots of people were out enjoying the waves......
As we looked north from the pier we saw two cruise ships that were pulling out from Port Canavaral; Regents Cruise Lines ( which I've not hear of before) and Carnival Cruise.
From there we headed out for dinner and decided to go to one of our favorite restaurants here in Cocoa Beach. Anacapri. Rich ordered Linguine and meatballs, and I ordered the Shrimp Scampi. We have eaten here every time we come to the beach and everything has been delicious. But my Shrimp Scampi was terrible......linguine tastted like it had just been pulled from a pot of warm water, and butter or oil was poured over it. Even the shrimp was tough. Rich's meal was very good, but mine was very disappointing.
Went back to the room................and a couple of hours later decided to walk across the street to Denny's for dessert! WOW! Rich opted for the Banana Split and I ordered the apple carmel crunch with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. As you can see they were HUGE!! OMG.............I'll never get to sleep tonight after all this!
Anyway - Fun day. One more day left before we head for home on Saturday. Really enjoying this ocean front unit.
