Cocoa Beach

Beach is clean and safe for the whole family. I choose to say close to the pier because there are life guards present and that makes me feel safer.
I loved florida so much that in one year im moving there and close to COCOA BEACH.
Parking is free in places around the area. Make sure to google the cooca beach and find out where. Also, they have showers for you in differnt spots along cocoa beach.
I prefer to park close to one of these areas because sand is messy.
Cant wait to come back!!!!

It was a beautiful day, we had so much fun. We saw some birds diving for fish. Boogie boarding was fun

It was heavily raining the day we arrived in Cocoa Beach, but given that it's Florida the sky cleared pretty quickly. We walked here across the street, to a short pathway with palm trees, that led us to the beach. The sand is soft, and there is plenty of it.
This is a six mile beach. There is plenty of spots to lay down your towel. The tide was low, I've heard this is a good surfing beach. Convenient, since there is a surf shop just a short walk from the beach.
It wasn't very busy the day I was here, probably due to the heavy downpour just moments earlier.
You can rent your beach umberalla and beach chairs. They also have restrooms and showers.
This beach is clean, and the water was refreshing.

We had a great time at the Cocoa Beach restaurant. Food was delicious and service was excellent.

The beaches at Cocoa Beach are wide, clean and most of them free to the public.

The city of Cocoa beach offers 6 miles of Atlantic Ocean beaches with excellent access by foot or by car with plenty of parking lots right on by the beach entrances.

Within the city limit you will find 3 oceanfront parks with restrooms, showers and picnic tables, making it easy for most people to enjoy the waves, the sun and the sand.

If you are not big on the ocean, but more of a calmer waters person, then you can opt for tours of the Banana River Lagoon by boat or kayak.

Just a nice relaxing area to enjoy any type of water sports.

I definitely was on board, although I don't surf I did leave my footprints

Walking the shore gazing at the stars listening to the ocean waves

There's nothing quite like a night time walk on the beach barefoot on a breezy night feeling tranquility

This beach is on the Florida's Space Coast, in one of the nicest beach towns in Florida.

The world-famous Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier is located about a mile away and is worth visiting as well.

No matter if it's morning, noon, or night this beach is clean with a cool vibe with hotel waterfront views.

One of my favorite beaches on the east side of Florida, Beautiful Cocoa Beach!!!

Loved everything about it, and if you didn't know it is dog friendly, and alcohol friendly haha. You can drink on the beach just no glass bottles are allowed.
Parking was very easy to access, you can park on the street meters per hour or on the garage. ($3.50 per hour OR $20 the entire day).
The umbrella and chairs rentals are $30 umbrella and $15 each chair.
The parking garage has showers and bathrooms that are extremely clean so you rinse off before you exit.

Overall, calm atmosphere with some crazy waves (surfer capital in Florida!!!) and cute beach town with bars, restaurants, and mom and pop shops all around.

A humongous clean beach area. From the water's edge to the vegetation it has to be several hundred feet. I'd say a hundred feet of damp sand to sit and lay out on, then another 50 feet of dry sand to the top of the leveled off area.

Pick any numbered street and head east to find parking for the beach. It is self pay. We paid $12 for 3.5 hrs. I saw plenty of parking at each street. The beach is pet friendly.

Folks were surf fishing, riding bikes, surfing, and swimming. Our girls played with their body boards, dug for little crabs, made sand castles and collected shells.

It always amazes me how loud the surf is when the waves crash. The views are incredible. Beach front condos were all only 4 stories high in this area (12th to 16th street).

Truly this beach was worth the drive and the 10 thousand tolls to and from Orlando. The sand was nice and soft, the beach was clean. The water temperature was amazing for 10:30am. My son's first time at the beach and he loved it. The water had a pretty color from the pier. There were tons of shops and food/bev also on the pier. I loved that the shower to rinse off on is right at the end of the beach before the parking lot. & The umbrellas and chairs you can rent right in front of the water is super convenient and I think the price is a good deal. I would love to return here. Would also like to mention I came in September the Saturday before Hurricane Ian. Still perfect.

Decently disappointed. I wouldn't go out of my way to visit this beach. The area around cocoa beach just isn't very nice. There's very limited parking for the beach, all of which is paid. From what I had heard, I thought cocoa beach would be really beautiful but it just didn't live up to expectations.

We found a great dog friendly beach spot at 14th and S. Atlantic. I had been reading on their website to go btw 4th Street South to north side of Murkshe Park. So we went to Murkshe Park which right away had a sign no dogs. (Of course, I saw two pups lol).

So we went two streets over and found the spot. It even said entering a dog friendly beach.

This area had two aisles of parking and it was $2.50 an hour. Pay at the meter or Passport Parking which is an app or the website. The app wouldn't work for me which I just used it last week in Ft. Myers so we payed w/ our cc. It's until 7pm for meter.

The trek to the beach is hard with the type of sand, but this beach was nice and chill. The water was pretty. I went in once, but Cocoa Beach has the rap for sharks, so I only went in once. It was still quick nice and chill and relaxing like I love a beach. Without tons of people and no cigarette smoke in my breathing area.
