Cocoa Beach is located on a barrier island, nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Banana River Lagoon on Florida’s Central East Coast.

Welcome to funoncocoabeach.com – Six miles long, and mostly less than one mile wide, Cocoa Beach is truly a unique place! Where else can you choose between watching a space launch from the beach or precious animal species in their natural habitat? You can choose between a swim in the ocean, or a quiet paddle board exploration of the Banana River islands, from our river shore? Play a round of golf at our 27-hole golf course, deep sea fish for dinner, or just enjoy a day at the beach where you will likely see dolphin at play or be lucky enough to see an occasional whale on migration. Widely known as the surfing capital of the East Coast, Cocoa Beach is the hometown of world surfing champion Kelly Slater.

The primary attraction to Cocoa Beach is the weather.

With its coastal location and positioned where two climatic zones (sub-tropic and temperate) meet, our weather usually avoids extremes. This unique location attracts wildlife indigenous to both climatic zones, as well as coastal and migratory species. And, of course, our weather, beaches and local amenities attract human visitors as well! Many of our residents first experienced Cocoa Beach as visitors and eventually relocated here!

Cocoa Beach is a residential community and a tourist destination. Our base population is 12,631,  our population though swells to as high as 30,000 during the peak tourist season when the hotels, motels, timeshares and condominium rentals are filled. In addition, Cocoa Beach is the destination for another 2.4 million day visitors per year; it is the primary tourist destination on the Florida Space Coast. It is also home to an active retiree population, many of whom devoted their careers to our nation’s space program. The casual beach lifestyle is enjoyed by visitors and residents alike!
