Best Restaurants in Cocoa Beach

The Space Coast’s food scene centers on fresh Atlantic seafood, laid-back surf-town cafés, and a few waterfront spots that justify driving past the Cape Canaveral chain restaurants.

Seafood

Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill (Port Canaveral) — Waterfront dining overlooking the cruise ship terminal. Fresh catch, stone crab (seasonal), and tropical cocktails. Watch the ships come and go.

Grills Seafood Deck (Port Canaveral) — Two-level restaurant right on the marina. Raw bar, steamed shrimp, and fried fish baskets. The upstairs deck has the best views.

Cocoa Beach Timeshare Promotions

Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral — Florida’s Space Coast — offer a unique combination of beach vacationing and space exploration history that you won’t find anywhere else on earth. Timeshare promotional deals here put you within miles of Kennedy Space Center, some of Florida’s best surfing beaches, and a front-row seat to rocket launches.

Here’s how it works, what it costs, and how to decide if it’s right for your next Cocoa Beach trip.

Day Trips from Orlando

Orlando’s central Florida location puts you within 90 minutes of both coasts, natural springs, historic cities, and some of the most beautiful landscapes in the state.

Cocoa Beach & Kennedy Space Center — 1 Hour East

The closest ocean beach to Orlando. Cocoa Beach has the pier, Ron Jon Surf Shop, and the most accessible surf on the east coast of Florida. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex is adjacent — spend the morning at the beach and the afternoon with Saturn V rockets and Space Shuttle Atlantis.

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.
