A surf town with spacey vibes, Cocoa Beach is renowned for catching waves at some of Florida’s best surfing spots. Or you can marvel at the sight of a rocket launch from any of its picturesque beaches.
You don’t want to miss Cocoa’s vibrant local dining scene either, from fresh seafood to global cuisine either!
Take time to explore Cocoa Village for a taste of local culture and history, or embark on a bioluminescence kayaking adventure for a magical nighttime experience.
Cocoa Beach is where laid-back beach life meets the excitement of space exploration. Lucky for you I’ve lived nearby long enough to make your trip planning easier so do some clicking below and thank me later!
