Cocoa Beach

Florida surfing town

Cocoa Beach is a city on Florida's Atlantic coast, known for its proximity to Kennedy Space Center and as a hub for surfing and beach tourism.

The name evokes the relaxed, sun-drenched character of Florida's Space Coast: We spent spring break in Cocoa Beach.

It gained cultural recognition through the 1960s television series *I Dream of Jeannie*.
