Cocoa Beach - : Favorite surf vacation spot on Florida's east coast island just south of Daytona Beach and east of Orlando, FL

Welcome to Cocoa Beach

- updated: Tue, 1 Apr 2008

Cocoa Beach is a great place to visit - it's close to the major attractions in Orlando (about an hours drive from Disney World, SeaWorld and Universal Studios) and is just a few short minutes from the Kennedy Space Center. If you've never been to the Space Center, you should make it a point to go because it is absolutly outstanding.

The local icon for this beach town is the Ron Jon Surf Shop - where surfing is king.

Cocoa probably has the best surfing along the entire east coast of the US. Helped in part by the jetty at Sebastian Inlet.

You'll also find that Cocoa is a stop over for many people taking a cruise out of Port Canaveral. The port is home to the Disney Cruise ships Majic and Wonder. Carnival also has a number of departures from the terminal.

Many of the area's hotels are familar chain hotels and many are located right on the beach - convenient as parking is usually such a hassel with beach cities in Florida.

There is a lively night scene - thanks in part to the "endless summer" surfing crowd of regulars and university students from Melbourne and Orlando.

Featured Resorts and Hotels in Cocoa Beach

The Kennedy SPace Cneter Visitor Complex- This is an amazing place. Get up close to many of the nation's historic space craft - including the huge Saturn V rocket. It's about an hour from Orlando and the Disney World area and well worth the trip. The IMAX theater brings our space program up so close you'll feel as if you are in space. New thrill rides, a tour of the launch facilities and labs. A really remarkable trip that will inspire and awe. - [more]
