One of the best parts of going on any vacation is checking out the local restaurants in the area. Traveling to new places can help expand your culinary experiences, and the same can be said whenever you visit Cocoa Beach. Our area features many different local restaurants that are not featured anywhere else. Make sure to stop by one of these incredible local restaurants when you come to visit Cocoa Beach:
Fat Kahunas
Whenever you do visit Cocoa Beach, you will notice that many of the local restaurants in the area focus on fresh seafood. It should come as no surprise, as Cocoa Beach is right on the water, making it easier than ever to obtain freshly caught seafood. One local restaurant that offers a delicious array of seafood and so much more is Fat Kahunas. This local restaurant is a tiny yet cozy restaurant right on the water. They feature a variety of seafood dishes including fresh scallops, tuna, halibut, and much more. The secret children’s menu makes sure even the little ones will find something they like even if they haven’t gotten a taste for seafood yet. Fat Kahunas is open Thursday through Monday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM for dinner; since the restaurant is so small reservations are highly recommended and can be made by calling 321-783-6858.

You may not expect Cocoa Beach to offer incredible Mexican food, but you will find exactly that when you dine in at Rock the Guac.
