It's been called the quintessential beach town, and Cocoa Beach, an hour's drive east of Orlando on Florida's beautiful Space Coast, exemplifies everything that a classic beach vacation should be. The tropical climate and exotic landscapes of Cocoa Beach offer endless ways to enjoy recreation and leisure on our six-mile stretch of white, sandy beach.
One of the more affordable vacation havens in all of Florida, there is never a lack of exciting things to do and see in our beautiful area. Fishing, surfing, boating, sightseeing, shopping, excellent dining, golfing, nightlife, and cruises are just a few of the many things to do in our area. While you're on the Space Coast you can visit the Kennedy Space Center (maybe even see a space shuttle liftoff!), go deep sea fishing, surf, windsurf, rent a jet-ski, swim in our crystal clear waters, and take a river tour to get close to our Florida gators, panthers, sea turtles and other awesome wildlife. Or you can drive just a short distance to Orlando, where you can visit Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, and see all Central Florida has to offer, then return to Cocoa Beach to enjoy dinner at one of the many dining spots on the beach, ranging from elegant to sand-in-your-shoes casual. After dark, kick back and enjoy the easy beach-style nightlife activities that run the gamut from cool jazz clubs to beach side cafes.
