Spend some time on the terrific beaches around the area including those accessed through Sidney Fischer Park, Lori Wilson Park, and Robert P. Murkshe Memorial Park.

Rocket launches are visible from this park, so check the Kennedy Space Center launch calendar, pack a lunch, and have a literal blast at the beach.
Another unmissable Cocoa Beach highlight is the historic Cocoa Beach Pier, formerly known as the Cape Canaveral Pier, built in 1962.
