Cocoa Beach
Centre of Florida's 'Space Coast' around Cape Canaveral, Cocoa
Beach has become one of the Sunshine State's prime holiday resorts,
boasting the top attraction of the Kennedy Space Center and close
proximity to Orlando's major theme park attractions 46 miles (74km)
away. Sited on a six-mile (10km) long barrier island, nestled
between the Atlantic Ocean and the Banana River Lagoon, Cocoa Beach
offers the chance to watch a space launch from the beach or ride
the waves on which several surfing champions have cut their teeth.
The town of Cocoa Beach has a large permanent population made up
largely of retirees, but this more than doubles during peak season
when the local hotels, motels, timeshares and condominium rentals
are filled with holidaymakers and sightseers. The quintessential
beach town, Cocoa Beach has an oceanfront running the entire length
of its city limits, fronted by numerous dining spots, shops and
cafes. There is also an historic pier, stretching 840ft (256m) into
the ocean, lined with restaurants, boutiques and souvenir shops and
providing for good fishing. A few minutes away is man-made Port
Canaveral, port of call for numerous cruise liners, where there are
also operators offering day sails, casino cruises and deep-sea
fishing charters. Cocoa Beach is connected to Port Canaveral and
various stops in-between by the Beach Trolley service.
