Melbourne Information

Located on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean on the Eastern coast of Florida, Melbourne is an ideal place to vacation. Looking for surfing, beaches, golf and snorkeling? You’ll find that all that and more when you visit Melbourne. Its humid, subtropical climate means warm temperatures almost year-around. Historic Downtown Melbourne features shopping and restaurants, as well as bars and antique shops. It’s also home to the annual Oktoberfest, the Annual Downtown Melbourne Food and Wine Festival, and Candlelight Shopping. In Melbourne, there’s always something exciting to see or do!

Your first stop should be to Historic Downtown Melbourne, where you can explore Melbourne’s community through art. You’ll see huge, oversized murals ranging from flowers and sea turtles to cars and mermaids, all painted by a handful of chosen local artists. Wander around and check out local establishments like Battymamzelle Boutique and Consignment, Bagel 13, and Sendala’s Gift Shop. If you’re in town when your favorite team is playing, head over to Off the Traxx Sports Bar and Grill. Their 27 HD televisions and family casual atmosphere will keep everyone in the family happy. If you’re traveling with a group who likes to party, Traxx also has a great lineup of nightlife events. The Firehouse Restaurant and Lounge has a great lunch menu and their steaks and wine list make it a top rated restaurant in Melbourne. Downtown is also where you’ll find Candlelight Shopping, a community holiday event that takes place every Saturday night between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You’ll be in the holiday spirit as you’re entertained by musicians and choirs and sip on apple cider or hot cocoa as you stroll through Historic Downtown. Shops are open late and Santa Claus even makes an appearance most nights! The Annual Food and Wine Festival held in downtown Melbourne invites adults to sample food, wine, and enjoy cooking competitions as they explore the event. Oktoberfest is held every year and for a flat rate, you can enjoy rides and traditional German beers. The weather in Melbourne will make you want to spend all your time outdoors, soaking up the sun. Golfers will love Mallards Landing and Cane Creek Reserve Golf Course. Mallards Landing is known for its championship layout and Cane Creek is a member of Florida’s Historic Golf Trail, and both are considered to be among the best public golf courses in Central Florida. Not a golfer? Not a problem. Head out to Melbourne Beach, just across Indian River. Sebastian Inlet State Park offers gorgeous views of the ocean and the water is calm. The pier is a great place to walk out on and enjoy the stunning surroundings, while the sandy shores provide space to lay out and take in some sun. Next to the jetty lies a nice surfing area, so head there if surfing is your jam. In addition, Sebastian Inlet State Park is the place to go for snorkeling. Try snorkeling in the tidal pool north of the boardwalk and you might see redfish, bluefish, and Spanish mackerel. Make sure to take advantage of the warm weather and spend some time exploring Melbourne’s outdoor activities.
