What comes to your mind when you think of clear blue- green
water, white sand, surfing, and of course romance? Have you
thought about where you could go for the most fun in the sun? The
best spot for vacation is , yes you guessed it, Cocoa Beach! It’s
about a forty-five-minute drive east of Orlando Florida, south of
Cape Canaveral, and near the Kennedy Space Center visitors
Complex.
When you take the scenic route through Merritt Island and then
cross the Banana River that leads into the city, your heart starts
pounding. You realize you are now very close to Cocoa Beach.
You make the right turn on A1A and just down on the left is the
Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanfront hotel. This is a great hotel and the
rooms are clean and roomy, and you can cozy up in the Kingsize
bed with the love of your life. When you walk out to the pool
area, don’t forget to visit the Tiki Bar Beach Grille. You can sit
around the fire pit and eat and reminisce about old times.
When the sun goes down, you can take a quiet stroll along the
beach holding hands and wrapped up with each other. The smell of
the salty ocean water takes your breath away. Listen to the power
of the ocean as wave after wave comes pushing into the shore.
When you get tired of walking you can sit under the umbrella and
watch the stars. Oh yes there must see spots:
● The Cocoa Beach Pier-This is the highlight of Cocoa. The pier
goes 800 feet out in the ocean, so that makes for a lot of
places to see inside. When you walk in, the first thing you see
are restaurants and bars where you can get anything you want
to eat or drink. How about play a game of pool while you are
there. You can visit the different shops if you want souvenir
shirts or other items. When you walk through to the end of the
pier, you can throw out your reel and rod and fish the rest of
the evening. You might catch Red Fish, Whiting Snapper,
Sheephead, Flounder,Grouper or whatever depending on what
season it is. Also you can enjoy a drink while you are fishing at
the Rikki Tiki Tavern and listen to the live music.
● Ron Jon Surf Shop-This is the world’s largest surf shop that is
open for 24 hours so you can really hang out day or night. With
fifty two thousand square feet, I’m sure you will find something
for surfing of course, swim, skate, t-shirts, and everything
beach.
● The Dinosaur Store-If you are a science guru, then you will love
visiting the dinosaur store and museum. You will be able to see
fossils and other ancient culture and gift souvenirs.
● Beach Wave Store-This is a huge store with everything you need
for the beach. They have great prices too. Why not get
matching t-shirts for you and your loved one that says:”Cocoa
Beach Forever” with hearts on it! Absolutely the best and will
make you have memories forever. You can shop the stainless
steel jewelry, hats, bags, gift souvenirs and more.
Why not visit Cocoa Beach? You’ll be glad you did!
