Heading to Florida coco beach melborne area.

Anyone know any shops to drop in and check out while I am down here worth checking into?

There's stuff in Orlando.  My parents live in Cocoa Beach.  There were no LFS I've ever thought worth the time.  Ron Jon's is fun, and they do have some fish tanks.  Otherwise, just go snorkeling.  The ocean is the best LFS ever!!!!!

That beach is not the best for snorkeling imo, you need to go south like miami, keys, etc. take a 3day cruise!

If you will be in Orlando, You have to check out World Wide Corals. Hands down, the nicest display tanks you will ever set your eyes on!

No it's not, but around the pier isn't horrible.  I prefer the Keys too. I spent the last 10 years in Miami, and there's certainly no comparison to Cocoa.  Actually, the biggest turtles I've seen outside of Hawaii was in a drift dive off of West Palm.  Did some awesome shark diving there too.

My wife grew up there and her dad just ended like a 10 year stint as the mayor. Let me ask

thanks also heard living reef Orlando has a 700 gal tank if I make it there

If you're looking for something to do, Lone cabbage is pretty cool. They do airboat rides and get to see gators and wild horses (at least we saw them on the 2 times we went).

 

It's in cocoa though. Think like 20-25 from cocoa beach

I've done that before I've been down here a lot just never visited any of the aquarium stores.
