Another option would be New Smyrna. Cars are allowed in some places and it is between Cocoa and Daytona. It is 12 miles from Daytona if you could drive across the lagoon/jetty thing. There is even a dog beach at New Smyrna.
I think I prefer New Smyrna to both as we don't have to "haul" our gear (umbrella, chairs, beach bag, etc.). We just open the vehicle, take it out with no hauling! We even leave the cooler in the vehicle as we are parked right there.
OK. Now I'm having beach withdrawals.....

Okay....I am Florida-Direction-Deficient!!! How much time does it take to drive from Kissimmee to New Smyrna as opposed to Daytona or Cocoa Beach? Is it a longer or shorter ride. I actually like the drive-your-car-on-the-beach part of Daytona but I hate long drives which is why I was considering Cocoa Beach.....I think (?) Cocoa Beach is closer? New Smyrna lets you drive onto the beach?
