PORT CANAVERAL. Forget all of that battered and fried nonsense! If it's fresh fish and seafood you seek, look to this restaurant at Sunrise Marina. Sure, aesthetically, it looks like little more than your standard waterside shack (complete with its own party deck and tiki bar, of course!), but then it's that intentional shabbiness that helps give the place its character. Of course, the kitchen crew does its part, too, a fact made clear once you've tried the grilled fish of the day (mahi mahi or cobia one day, maybe dolphin the next), bacon-wrapped scallops, or steamed deep-water crab legs.

SATELLITE BEACH. After stopping by Neptune for a bite of seafood or pasta, be sure to check out what's happening on the covered tiki deck, where the nightly slate includes everything from live music to DJs to trivia to karaoke. There are great drink specials, too ­ including all night happy hour ­ and it's not uncommon for the revelery to go way into the night, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. Late night menu available until 1am. Great views of the beach, too.
