I recently spent a charming, week-long vacation in Cocoa, Florida! It’s a enjoyable beach town just south of the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
I chose the area because of the enjoyable beaches and fun water activities.
I’d consistently wanted to learn to surf and take a fishing charter. I signed up for a kayak tour, swam in the ocean and spent a lot of time enjoyable in the sun… One of my number one spots to explore was the Cocoa Beach Pier. It stretches for 740 feet over the Atlantic Ocean and provides an especially amazing view of the entire city. There are lots of actually interesting shops, boutiques and eating establishments. I especially enjoyed sampling fresh seafood. The fish sandwiches were really amazing. One of the only drawbacks of my trip was the air conditioning in the room I rented, however rather than stay at one of the super overpriced resorts, I booked a room at a smaller hotel within walking distance to the beach! Because I didn’t pay a lot, I wasn’t expecting five-star amenities. I was good with a lumpy pillow, scratchy sheets and a thin blanket. The lack of water pressure in the shower didn’t bother me. I didn’t care that the carpet smelled musty or that the pipes made unusual sounds in the middle of the night. I was a little anxious that the air conditioner appeared ancient. It was missing some of the adjustment knobs and a bit rusty. It also dripped water onto the floor and rattled every time it started up. I was gleeful as long as it was supplying cool air, however when the AC quit in the middle of my fifth night, I complained. The room immediately became unbearably sizzling and sticky.
