A pristine island getaway for Florida hotel guests, Cocoa Beach is the perfect combination of mild, breezy temperatures and beautiful beaches, with some history thrown in, too. Home to many retired astronauts, Cocoa Beach is just a short drive from Cape Canaveral and the Kennedy Space Center, site of all U.S. Space Shuttle launches for thirty years.
With a wide range of entertainment, restaurants and hotels, Cocoa Beach has lots of down–to–earth offerings, as well. For surfers and surfing fans, the island is home to the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame and Ron Jon Surf Shop, the world’s biggest surfing store. Only an hour away from Orlando and Walt Disney World, a Cocoa Beach hotel room provides a great location for enjoying both the thrill of the parks once day and the calm ocean views the next.
Cocoa Beach nightlife offers jazz clubs, cafes, theaters and more for night owls. Or you can take an evening stroll along the Minutemen Causeway—look out for manatees and dolphins—before taking the city trolley back to your hotel room. Cocoa Beach is also a protected turtle-nesting site during the summer months, so make sure to watch for sea turtles, too!
