If you decide to go ahead and make a day trip in Melbourne, FL here are some places to visit during the daytime. Check out historic downtown Melbourne.

For lunch or dinner enjoy an authentic Irish meal at my favorite restaurant and pub, Meg O'Malley's. After dinner you'll want to drive over the Indian River causeway, towards Melbourne's most popular beach hangout, the boardwalk. At Melbourne's boardwalk you can sip on starbucks, or enjoy a sinful cup of coldstones creamery ice-cream.
