Cocoa Beach
Cocoa Beach is a beautiful city that lies on a barrier island between the Banana Rive Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean on the warm Central East Coast of Florida. Today it continues to join the start of the Space Age along with all the wonder that the future holds.
This is a place where you can experience the brilliant shuttle launchings in the sky, or relax as you watch the local wildlife continue to thrive in their natural habitat. With a land area of six miles long and a single mile wide, there is plenty of area to explore and enjoy all the wonders that the island holds. You'll find an endless number of possibilities.
The number of adventures you can have on the island never end. You can take a dip in the warm waters of the ocean with its endless shorelines and wonderfull beaches, or take a journey as you kayak down the peaceful Banana River Islands.
Along the shore, you can experience the 27-hole golf course, take to the beach for a surf cast, or kick back and simply enjoy the sun on the warm beaches. If you keep your eyes open, there is a good chance you'll get the chance to spot the playful dolphins, or if luck is on your side you may be able to watch the spectacular migration of a whale.
Since this is the surfing capital of the East Coast, there is little wonder that many of the surfing champions call us home. During your stay, you may have the chance to witness these individuals practicing for an upcoming competition and be able to cheer them on.
But that isn't the reason many people come to visit us or live. Our biggest and best attraction is the weather. As a rule thanks to our dual climatic zones (temperate and sub tropic), it is uncommon to find extreme weather conditions. This great weather is also popular with wildlife that is indigenous to both climates as well as species that tend to migrate.
Among those that like to migrate this way are our friendly human visitors! In fact there are a number of our current residents that started their stay a visitors and then decided to move here! This is why we are not only a hot tourist destination, but one of the best residential communities around.
What you may not realize is that we receive about 2.4 million day-trip visitors every year. This makes us the main destination for tourists along the Florida Space Coast.
We have a very active retiree population, and many of them were devoted to the space program for their entire career. It is a true honor to have these individuals among those that call our beautiful island home.
If you haven't already come to visit us, we invite you with open arms. Cocoa Beach is a spectacular place to visit any time of year. With the warm sun and breath taking views, you never know if this vacation will find you calling our little island home for good.
