Cocoa Beach Pier
Stretching out over the waves, the pier buzzes with music, bars and ocean breezes. It’s where beach life and nightlife meet.
Surfing
This is the East Coast’s surf capital, with waves gentle enough for beginners but lively enough to keep locals carving. It’s a great spot to “give surfing a go.”
Ron Jon Surf Shop
Open 24 hours and absolutely huge, it’s part surf store, part attraction. Clients often pop in just for the experience.
Kennedy Space Center
Only minutes away, rockets and shuttles sit alongside interactive exhibits. It’s inspiring and really does feel like stepping into NASA’s world.
Banana River Lagoon
Calm mangrove waters made for kayaking and paddleboarding. Manatees and dolphins often surface right beside you.
