Things to do in Cocoa Beach!

Cocoa Beach Pier

Cocoa Beach Pier

This iconic pier stretches 800 feet over the Atlantic Ocean and offers stunning views, is a great place to grab some lunch, do some shopping and have a cocktail or two! You can rent beach equipment, enjoy the beach volleyball courts, rent a surfboard or take some surf lessons! The Pier is also a prime location to watch a rocket launch from Kennedy Space Center!

Jetty Park, Port Canaveral, Florida

Jetty Park, Port Canaveral, Florida

Pack your car with a picnic, toss in a few chairs and buy your day pass for Jetty Park! Jetty Park has a 1200-foot fishing pier that extends into the ocean, visit the beach, watch the sea life, play in the playground or grab a picnic table and watch the cruise ships leave port. This is the highlight of this special place since the waterway is narrow, meaning the ships are super close! Don’t miss the Disney ships because they play popular tunes on their horns as they pass by! Jetty Park is also a great place to watch a rocket launch as its right on the other side of Kennedy Space Center! Jetty Park is open daily 7am-9pm. Make sure to buy your tickets in advance online!
