Driving from Orlando to Cocoa Beach??

[erin1715]

Hey all! We leave for Florida this Saturday! The first full day we are there we want to head to the beach for a day and I plan on going to Cocoa Beach but I need to print out driving directions and I don't have an exact address to punch in. Is there a specific place you all go on Cocoa Beach? I see there are a few parks with beaches, but I wasn't really planning on heading to a park. I just wanted to park near the beachfront and walk onto the beach. Is there a boardwalk area? Any info you can give me would be appreciated!

We go to cocoa beach. When they say park it is usually an area with a showers and a parking lot. I cannot think of which one we go to that is great. It is next to a Ron Jon Surf shop. You pay 7.00 to park, you can rent body boards, umbrellas etc, and there is a changing area and outside showers. I want to say it was Allen something park? I can ask my mom she keeps all the notes on places we go and like.

If you use the Ron Jon Address that will get you sufficiently close to the beach.

One thing I was disappointed to see at Cocoa Beach is all the cigarette butts in the sand. Some people seem to think the beach is their own personal ashtray. Not all beaches I have been too are like this or at least not to the degree I saw when we were there in July. It really angerd me to see that some people who choose to smoke can't also choose to dispose of their cigarettes properly rather than leaving them to dirty up the beach.

I really enjoyed being in the area of Cocoa Beach Pier. The address for that is 401 Meade Ave, Cocoa Beach 32931. And their website for more info is http://www.cocoabeachpier.com/
