Cocoa Beach trip planner

Situated in one of Florida's busiest vacation areas, Cocoa Beach burst onto the world scene in the 1960s, when it became a popular setting for parades honoring the nation's "Apollo" astronauts. In just over ten years the city went through such a major growth that its population increased by over 1,000 percent. Today, Cocoa Beach is home to just over 10,000 residents, though that number increases significantly during the height of the holiday season. More than just a sun-drenched paradise of sandy beaches, the town is also part of the so-called "Space Coast," a historical area around the space center on the Atlantic coast.
