With a wide range of entertainment, restaurants and hotels, Cocoa Beach has lots of down–to–earth offerings, as well. For surfers and surfing fans, the island is home to the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame and Ron Jon Surf Shop, the world’s biggest surfing store. Only an hour away from Orlando and Walt Disney World, a Cocoa Beach hotel room provides a great location for enjoying both the thrill of the parks one day and the calm ocean views the next. For indoor fun, take the family to The Dinosaur Store & Museum for hands-on education.
Enjoy a night out at Backwoods Steakhouse, or enjoy traditional Cuban cuisine at Roberto's Little Havana before hitting the jazz clubs, cafes, theaters and more. Or you can take an evening stroll along the Minutemen Causeway - look out for manatees and dolphins - before taking the city trolley back to your hotel room. Cocoa Beach is also a protected turtle-nesting site during the summer months, so make sure to watch for sea turtles, too!
