Florida's Cocoa Beach is only about 75 miles from the Orlando Attractions such as Disney World and Sea World.
In addition it is only about 30 minutes from the Cape Kennedy Space Center and adjacent Merrit Island National Wildlife Refuge which makes it ideal as a Florida vacation family destination.
Located on a barrier island, between the Atlantic Ocean and the Banana River Lagoon, Cocoa Beach is just six miles long, and mostly less than one mile wide. While here you can choose between watching a space launch or many animal species in their natural habitat right from the beach!. You can swim in the ocean, or do some exploring off the Banana River islands, from our river shores. Play golf at our awesome golf courses, enjoy our great restaurants for dinner, or just enjoy a day at the beach where you might see dolphins at play or an occasional whale in migration.
One of the best things about Cocoa Beach is the weather. It is positioned where two climatic zones (sub-tropic and temperate) meet, so the weather here usually avoids extremes. Cocoa Beach is a residential community and a tourist destination. The casual beach lifestyle is enjoyed by visitors and residents alike!
