Review:

Families interested in space and science will enjoy visiting Cocoa Beach on Florida’s Space Coast. Cocoa Beach is also home to the largest surf shop in the world, Ron Jon’s, and amazing surfing spots along with the famous Cocoa Beach Pier. The Kennedy Space Center is nearby, and launches can be viewed from the beach. The Space Center serves as the headquarters of NASA and also has areas accessible to the public for tours of the facilities and launch pads, meeting astronauts, and getting up close to space rockets.

Cocoa Village is a historic riverside community with more than 50 boutique and local shops, restaurants, and galleries. There are many resorts in the area that serves the beach and outer Orlando area.
