Cocoa beach which can be recognized as Florida's classic beach town on the Space Coast should be considered when planning the destination of your next vacation. It is located one hour east of Orlando and the drive down has some of Florida's most amazing views.
Whether you go for business or pleasure, Cocoa beach and the Space Coast has a lot to offer. And it is very reasonably priced for a vacation destination.
There is plenty available for different tastes from the simple pleasure of being on a beach and enjoying the weather (which is usually not too hot or not too cold), to delving into the sea and going on a deep sea fishing expedition.
You can also board a casino cruise ship, learn how to parasail, or go on a tour of the river and take in Florida's amazing array of wildlife from dolphins to even the occasional whale.
There are other tour sites not to be missed, such as the Brevard Zoo and the Kennedy Space Center and of course there are lots of places to go shopping. You can make a day trip to Orlando to see some of its attractions and be back to enjoy Cocoa Beach at night.
The laid back nightlife at Cocoa beach varies from the beachside cafes to jazz clubs. The accommodations are exceptional and the brilliant sunrise the next day, is an added bonus.
Cocoa beach is full of things to do and see it's a perfect getaway for the entire family and on top of that, its location gives you an opportunity to see more than one corner of Florida.
