3 days in Cocoa Beach Itinerary

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.

Step out of Cocoa Beach to go to Merritt Island and see NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, which is approximately 34 minutes away. And it doesn't end there: cast your line with a fishing tour, examine the collection at Parker Brothers Concepts, work some fitness into your day at Manatee Sanctuary Park, and stop by Ron Jon Surf Shop.

To find photos, other places to visit, more things to do, and tourist information, refer to the Cocoa Beach vacation planner.

In July, daily temperatures in Cocoa Beach can reach 88°F, while at night they dip to 77°F. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 19th (Sun) early enough to travel back home.
