    Cocoa Beach

    Has anyone been here? Paul and the boys have decided to spend the 1st day of their holiday here as our villa is booked by someone else.
    Suggetions of what to do, where to eat etc would be appreciated.

    We've only been there for a day at the beach, a couple of times.

    I'm sure there are lots of things to do, it's just I've not seen them! Although, there doesn't seem to be a vast amount to do if you're not on the beach.

    The obvious thing is, you can always do the Kennedy Space Centre - that's virtually next door and Ron Jon's Surf Shop should also entertain you for an hour or so.

    Sorry I can't help you more!

    Why not stay at Daytona - it's not that much further than Cocoa Beach. We had 3 days there while guests were in and htoroughly enjoyed it.

    He looked on the map and decided the drive to cocoa beach looked slightly easier as he hasn't got his navigator who is really trustworthy.<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_approve.gif border=0 align=middle>

    At the moment he's booked a room at Days Inn on the beach but can cancel it if someone knows a better cheap place.

    We are visiting Cocoa Beach this Easter (2004), so any hints and tips would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    I would skip Cocoa if you're spending time at the beach. Much more to do in Daytona. Also try Clearwater on the gulf side - nicer beaches there, warmer water etc

    Great sandy beach, Ron Jons surf shop, basic restaurants handy on the pier.
    Mostly people stay there for quiet beach holiday or a local base to visit Kennedy Space Centre or the port for cruise ships. Cocoa Village for what the Americans call historic shopping was plesent for a couple of hours. [website link edited]

    We love Cocoa Beach, but agree the Pier could do with a lick of paint, were not going to
    visit this year, instead were going to Melbourne beach. Last time we went there was 1989
    so imagine its changed a bit

    my boys love cocoa beach, great waves for the beginner surfer. Also a great bar and terrace overlooking the beach - can't remember what it is called but will definitely be there in July to listen to the band while having a meal and a drink[8D]
