7 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.

Family-friendly places like Cocoa Beach Pier and Space Shuttle Atlantis will thrill your kids. Get out of town with these interesting Cocoa Beach side-trips: Valiant Air Command Warbird Museum (in Titusville), Ponce Inlet (Marine Science Center, Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse & Museum, &more) and Merritt Island (NASA Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex & Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge). There's much more to do: stroll through Cocoa Beach, take a memorable tour with Cocoa Beach Aerial Adventures, take in the waterfront at Rikki Tiki Tavern at Cocoa Beach Pier, and walk around Lori Wilson Park.
