Any kid, or adult, who has ever dreamed of being an astronaut will have to add Cocoa Beach to their list of destinations to visit. Cocoa Beach is located just south of Cape Canaveral, where spaceships are launched, and it is where visitors can find access to the Kennedy Space Center and its Visitor Complex. Inside the Visitor Complex, guests will find an amazing display of artifacts from iconic space missions and moment throughout history, as well as rockets. But even if space isn’t your thing, Cocoa Beach has something for everyone, with great beaches that are popular with surfers, and a beach pier that has shops and restaurants. Families can go on a kayak tour, dig for dinosaur bones, learn to surf, or take a mini cruise at Cocoa Beach.
