(30 minutes away) Crabby Joe's is one of my favorite places to take out-of-state friends when they visit me. It's a restaurant that sits on a pier out over the ocean. You can look down at the floor and see thru the cracks in the wood to the ocean. Great views. The food is good. The wait staff is always great there. There is indoor and outdoor seating. They also have a gift shop so you can go buy a t-shirt that says you ate there ;)

(30 minutes away) Our Deck Down Under is just under the bridge you go over to get to the beach. It sits on the water on the inlet. The water there is "brackish" (mix of salt and fresh) and almost always there are dolphins swimming. There is indoor and outdoor seating and pretty good food here. This is one of my family's favorite places to stop on the way back from the beach.

(1 hour away) Universal is awesome. There is plenty of dining and shopping in City Walk (which is the area outside Universal that you don't have to pay to get in to). Universal has interesting stuff in their lines as well as fans outside in the lines for when it's hot. If you go to Universal I recommend getting the pass that allows you to go to both parks so you can ride the Hogwart's Train :)
