Port Canaveral - What to do?

[pattycake08]

I will be on the RCCL Anthem of the Seas in October 2022, one of our Ports of Call is Port Canaveral.  We have no interest in going to Disney, but have no idea exactly what to do in Port Canaveral.  Can anyone recommend activities they have done, with any costs associated like taxis or distance from the port?

The Kennedy Space Center shouldn't be missed.  https://www.kennedyspacecenter.com/info/itineraries

If you just want to get out and stretch your legs, there are some interesting things within walking distance from terminal #1.  Grills restaurant and bar has great seafood, drinks, and live music in the afternoons.  Nice outdoor seating.  Don't know when you leave, but I enjoy watching the fishing boats come in and clean and display their catch of the day.  There are a dozen bars and restaurants along the waterway.  You might catch a glimpse of the SpaceX rocket which is sometimes docked directly across the inlet.  As mentioned earlier, The Kennedy Space Center is great if you are a space buff.  You could do a dolphin watch tour, but frankly I've seen plenty of them in the inlet where Grills and the other restaurants are.  Cocoa Beach is a basic Florida beach town.
