Located just 65 miles east of Orlando (home to both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios), Cocoa Beach is situated right off the coast between the Banana River to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east.

Spend some time on the terrific beaches around the area including those accessed through Sidney Fischer Park, Lori Wilson Park, and Robert P. Murkshe Memorial Park.

Rocket launches are visible from this park, so check the Kennedy Space Center launch calendar, pack a lunch, and have a literal blast at the beach.
Another unmissable Cocoa Beach highlight is the historic Cocoa Beach Pier, formerly known as the Cape Canaveral Pier, built in 1962. Extending 800 feet over the Atlantic Ocean, the pier is home to restaurants and gift shops. Eager anglers will want to rent some gear and drop a line or two off the pier for red fish, whiting, snapper, wahoo, flounder, and more.

For the ultimate family day trips, both Universal Orlando (home of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter) and Walt Disney World are only 65 miles away.
