Situated on a slim barrier island in the middle of the east coast of central Florida, this 15-square mile town boasts more than 6 miles of coastline. The beautiful waterline attracts more than 2 million visitors a year, and many of them have just one thing on their agenda - laying in the sun and playing in the water. Whether you are a master of a long board, are handy with a boogie board, or just like making sand castles, the public parks of Cocoa Beach will be fun-central for you and your friends and family. On a warm day - which is just about every day of the year, you'll get to mingle with a high-energy, fun-loving beach crowd. Alan Shepherd Park, Sidney Fischer Park, and Lori Wilson Park are just a few of the wonderful public beaches to explore. All have seasonal lifeguards and parking. But the sand is just the beginning of a Cocoa Beach adventure. This resort town is also deeply connected to the stars. At the Astronaut Memorial Planetarium and Observatory, you'll see why Cocoa Beach is often referred to as the "space coast."

And to meet some of the many animals that call this special coastal ecosystem home, visit the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, an elaborate haven for hundreds of species of wild and endangered animals, including alligators, sea turtles, and red-tailed hawks.
