Things to Do in Cocoa Beach & Cape Canaveral

Cocoa Beach is the heart of Florida’s Space Coast — the stretch of Atlantic coastline where NASA has been launching rockets since the 1960s. Kennedy Space Center is 20 minutes north, Port Canaveral cruise ships are 10 minutes away, and the surf is some of the best on the East Coast.

It’s also an hour east of Orlando, making it the perfect day trip or add-on to a theme park vacation.
