JIB Marina
26. januar 2023, Forenede Stater ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
Near Jupiter Island we anchored for a night then went to JIB Marina for a night. The marina was quaint with some nice deck seating and a pool. It was also walking distance to the beach. Beach access was through a neighborhood trail. The trail was lined with beautiful trees and flowers. It even had a sand rinse off area.
We also took the dinghy to Tiki 52 for dinner. The atmosphere was amazing and food delicious.Læs mere

Peanut Island is like a little tropical paradise. The water is clear and blue with lots of different marine life. The island has amazing snorkeling and very soft sand. We spent a few days relaxing and swimming in the warm tropical water and saw sting ray, parrot fish, green moray eel, etc.Læs mere

As we hunkered down at the marina avoiding the wind storm, we ventured to the Oceanographic Center. There we fed stingrays, touched horseshoe crabs, and saw all sorts of creatures. There was also a mile long walking trail through the swamps.Læs mere

Cocoa Village is adorable and lovely. Art is everywhere. So many cute shops and cafes. The day was busy with festivities including a sip and stroll, a beer crawl, a concert with Clay Walker, and a space launch. We didn’t participate in most of those activities, but was still fun to be there. Matt’s friends came out for dinner.Læs mere

This is our family’s second time coming to Universal. The first time we did the VIP Private tour. This time we opted for the VIP Group tour. We went on all the popular attractions without waiting in lines. After our tour, we were able to continue going on rides with an express pass. We also chilled for a bit playing with our wands in Diagon Ally.Læs mere

Orlando has an awesome ropes course in the trees. There are 4 segments, each with 9-11 challenges that include zip lines, crawling through things, walking on wobbly things, etc. it took 3 hours to complete and was a fun experience. We finished it with a very long zip line.Læs mere

We anchored in New Smyrna and took the dinghy to the Grille for some food. Then took a stroll through the beach town to the beach. The beach was ranked #1 most dangerous beach in the US for shark attacks and rip tides. We walked briefly and found ice cream. Dolphins are common and a few were sleeping next to our boat.Læs mere

A Looper told us about a nice resort with marina. We were able to get slips there and enjoy the amenities of the resort including many pools (one with a sandy beach), lazy river, water slide, hot tubs, and a pink sand beach. We also walked to the European Village which had a courtyard surrounded by shops and restaurants and condos on the upper levels.Læs mere

There is so much to do in this historic town. We took the Old Trolly tour which is a hop on hop off tour which allowed us to see all the staples.
