Cocoa Beach in Florida is home to many great artists, so it would be a sin to exclude art galleries and shops from the region's best shopping. One local artist who rises to the forefront is Rick Piper, whose colorful art is often centered around water and emanates a distinctly Space Coast feel. At his Cocoa Beach-based storefront, you can find prints of fish, mermaids and water for sale (or just to gawk at and enjoy). Throughout the region, you can find Piper's bright murals, too, like an immersive mural complete with sound effects on the wall at Coconuts on the Beach. You will see his murals throughout town, at coffee shops, pools, other shops and even in private homes. Check out Pipers' Facebook page for more information about his upcoming shows and inspirations: www.facebook.com/rickpiperart.
