Just under one month till we fly of to Orlando [msnsmile2]
In the past we have always spent a few nights on the gulf coast either on Clearwater\St Petes or further south on Lido Beach.
This year we are hoping to spend some time on the east coast and visit Daytona \ Cocoa beach area and I was wondering which beach would you all recommend for a day trip?
Would it be worth staying overnight? Is their much to do in the area?

St Augustine. It's definately worth an overnight. Great beaches and so much history.
It's around a 2 - 2 1/2 hour deive from Kississimmi.
Take my word on it, you won't be dissapointed.
Of the two beaches listed it would be Cocoa for us. so laid back and the boys love the surfing. I just like the balacony of the bar overlooking the beach and listening to music with a cold drink:D
We are going to give St Augustines a go next trip as I have heard nothing but great reports about it.

Cocoa for us as well, found Daytona a bit too commercialised, but hey, each to their own[msncool]
i agree cocoa is much better its such a lovely beach and we managed to spend the whole day there no problem without getting bored.we found it easy enough to get back to orlando in the evening so we didnt stay overnight so i dont know what the hotels are like round that area.

Cocoa for us too, we didn't much like Daytona beach, as Liz says bit too commercialised for us.[msnsmile2]
Cocoa is really nice, also try to visit the ice-cream parlour by the pier. Enjoy. Chloe

We think Cocoa is better than Daytona for an overall day out
