Cocoa

The Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is a must-see, offering an immersive experience in space exploration. Downtown Cocoa Village is another highlight, with its historic buildings, unique shops, and waterfront dining. For beach lovers, Cocoa Beach is just a short drive away, offering beautiful sandy shores and surfing opportunities. Additionally, the Brevard Zoo is a great option for families.

Cocoa offers a variety of activities. You can explore the shops and restaurants in Cocoa Village, visit the Kennedy Space Center, relax on Cocoa Beach, or enjoy watersports like surfing, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Nature enthusiasts can explore nearby parks and nature preserves, such as the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. There are also opportunities for fishing and boating in the Indian River Lagoon.

The best time to visit Cocoa is during the spring (March-May) or fall (September-November) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. The summer months (June-August) are hot and humid, but also offer the opportunity to witness rocket launches. Winter (December-February) is also a good time to visit, with milder temperatures, but it can be a bit cooler for swimming.
