Satellite Beach, FL

Satellite Cinemas is easy to miss...it is located in the corner of a large strip center mall along with a Publix in Satellite Beach, FL If you live beachside...add this place to you search when looking to go to the movies...here are a few reasons:

1. CHEAP prices...tickets for senors, kids, all Military (with ID) and ALL shows before 5pm are only $5...and even night shows are only $6!!!!
2. Great location (about 2 miles south of Pineda on A1A
3. Four movies...first run...this is unusual for a cinema that has discount prices.
4. A feeling that you stepped back in time about 20 years...check it out.
5. Locally owned...not a big conglomerate...I love that!
6. Ladies Day...call them for the ladies day special on Wednesday which includes popcorn and a drink.

Warning: this is not one of those fancy cinemas that has 18 movies and stadium seating for thousands...it is an old fashioned movie house that will allow you to see a first run movie without breaking the bank. I went with my boy and two of his friends...including popcorn and soda for the boys it cost me $35...for four!

Satellite Cinemas is located at 1024 Hwy A1A in Satellite Beach, FL 32937

South Patrick Shores is a small section of homes and light retail located between Satellite Beach and Patrick Air Force Base/the Pineda Causeway. It runs also runs between the ocean and the river. Since the completion of the project that takes the Pineda causeway from the beach all the way to I-95...many buyers are giving this area strong consideration.

...this area has some of the shortest commute times to I-95...this really helps for those looking to live near the beaches but travel to the Cape or Orlando metro area for work.

This smaller community has inexpensively priced homes and was originally designed to appeal to those in the Air Force community. The South Patrick Shores area feeds Satellite Beach schools which are all "A Rated". Quite a few residents in South Patrick shores area are retired military...some are first time home buyers.

South Patrick Shores is also a good option for investors looking to cash in on the upgraded causeway...and buyers looking to feed "A-Rated" schools and quick commute times... that cannot usually afford the price for such amenities. Prices for single family homes range from under 100k to around 150k.

Here is a map of the area...you can see South Patrick Shores is just below the Pineda Causeway:

I always hate when a restaurant that has been around for a long time goes away. Most of the time it happens after a change of ownership...which was the case with The Cove. Just before Christmas Neptune Bar & Grill opened in the old Cove location on A1A in Satellite Beach...about half way between Eau Gallie and Pineda Causeways.

This place is most definitely a bar and grill...with two areas for live music (one outside on the huge outdoor patio bar...and one inside. The inside bar includes a dance floor, large bar area and tables to enjoy a big game on wide screen or drinks/food. Neptune also has a large dining room (that looks a little too much like a Denny's for my liking).

The food is a notch above standard bar food. The burgers, salads, fish options and ice cold beer all tasted quite good. The prices are reasonable with most items in the $8-18 range.

The real draw here is the huge outside patio bar that stretches the entire area in the front of the restaurant. If the quality of the food stays high they will have large crowds whenever the weather permits!

Sun on the Beach is a Satellite Beach, FL breakfast and lunch joint that offers great food at a reasonable price. The location (directly on the Atlantic Ocean in Satellite Beach) is amazing for those looking for a little view with their eggs and bacon!

The menu is very extensive and offers everything a breakfast snob could ask for...from wonderful omelets to a host of eggs Benedict choices...to their pancake bar. Crepes are outstanding here (try the banana pecan crepe) and you can choose your flavor of waffles or French toast.

The lunch menu if full of salads, sandwiches and burgers as well as a nice group of seafood dishes...all are quite good and you will find yourself coming back time after time. Check out their website for specials they offer...they are usually outstanding (go to http://www.sobfl.com ).

Sun on the Beach is not your ordinary breakfast place! The address is 753 Hwy A1A, Satellite Beach, FL 32937
