3----2-----1-----Liftoff!  We have liftoff!   These familiar words and a

 roar that will take your breath away can be heard in this small 

east coast Florida town located near the Kennedy Space Center.

What better way to see technology in action then to experience the liftoff of a space shuttle?  Cocoa Beach offers this possibility and a whole lot more.

Located on Merritt Island, a barrier island nestled

 between the great Atlantic Ocean and the Banana 

River Lagoon on Florida’s central east coast, Cocoa Beach 

continues to link the birth of the Space Age with the wonders of 

the future.  Orlando is only an hour away and can further enhance

 a vacation in the Sunshine State.

 The sandy shore is one of the main attractions of Cocoa Beach.

 The beach, along with the weather, brings many people to the area.  Many arrive initially as visitors and eventually settle there. 

Just six miles long and less than one  mile wide along most of its

 length, Cocoa Beach is known as the surfing capital of the East

 coast  with ocean beachfront running almost the entire length of

 its city limits.

 Fishing, surfing, boating, sightseeing, shopping, excellent dining,

 golfing, nightlife, and cruises are just a few of the many things to 

do in the area. The Space Coast is the place to visit the Kennedy

 Space Center),to go deep sea fishing, surf, windsurf, rent a jet-ski, 

swim in the crystal clear waters, and take a river tour to have a 

look at the Florida gators, panthers, sea turtles and other 

awesome wildlife. Or you can drive the short distance to Orlando,

 and visit Walt Disney World, Sea World, Universal Studios, and 

other Central Florida attractions. Dinner will be waiting in Cocoa 

Beach at one of the many dining spots on the beach, ranging from

 elegant to casual. After dark, enjoy the nightlife activities from cool jazz clubs to beach side cafes.

 The Space Complexes of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape 

Canaveral are situated to the north, and Patrick

 Air Force Base is to the south. Cocoa Beach is

 just minutes from Florida's fastest growing port :  Port Canaveral,

  offering  world class cruise terminals, affordable cruises to exotic

 Caribbean destinations, and  day cruises  aboard  casino ships.

 Deep-sea fishing boats and day sails are also available.

  Merritt Island with its Wildlife Refuge is close by.

 Where else is it possible to choose whether to watch a space 

launch from the beach or to observe a wide range of  marine and

 bird species in their natural habitats? Or to opt for a swim in the 

ocean,  a quiet kayak exploration off the Banana River islands,  a 

round of golf at the 27-hole golf course, surf casting  from the 

beach for dinner,  or just a day at the beach watching dolphins at

 play and watching for a whale in migration.

 Of course, the primary attraction to Cocoa Beach is the weather.

 With its coastal location and positioning between sub-tropical and 

temperate zones, the weather is amazingly stable year round. 

 This location attracts wildlife indigenous to both climatic zones as

 well as coastal and migratory species.   So, bring your binoculars!

 The city enjoys an average temperature of 61 F in January and

 81.6 F in July and August, making any time of year beach 

weather. While strolling on the beach, many visit the historic 

Cocoa Beach Pier.  Stretching 840 feet over the 

Atlantic, it features a wide array of restaurants and 

shopping.

Whether you are just thinking about visiting Cocoa

Beach or you have been here before and are planning a return visit, this small beach community welcomes you with great fun and a wide variety of 

activities, any time of year.  With Orlando,  Titusville, and 

Melborne nearby, there are additional opportunities for exploring more of the Sunshine State.

Whether traveling to the Cocoa Beach area for a family beach 

vacation, Spring Break, leisure travel, a weekend getaway, or just

a day trip, you'll find everything you need to make your visit one to

 remember.
