Port Canveral for a port of call on Explorer

[riviera]

We will be on Explorer 2/23 out of Bayonne. We stop in Port Canaveral from 1PM until 11PM.

Have done the Space Center and Disney World. We are 4 people 60+. Considering finding transportation to Cocoa Beach or surrounding area for the afternoon and perhaps a nice seafood restaurant for lunch.

Any suggestions?

We are currently staying in cocoa beach at the four points next to Ron Jon's, and there are shuttle buses run from the port to our hotel frequently throughout the day whenever a ship is in port for the day. There are signs on the buses that read "free beach and surf shop shuttle", and I believe there is also a free shuttle to "the cove" where there are several seafood places right by the pier. We have eaten @ Rusty's and Fishlips, both really good. The beach is one block from where the free shuttles drop you off at the Four Points and there is a rental place that rents chairs, umbrellas, etc. the Grandeur was just here on Sunday so there might be some info you can get on the ship.
