Less than an hour east of Orlando lies sunny Cocoa Beach, FL. Known for its surf culture and slower pace, Cocoa Beach is an excellent getaway vacation destination. And if you’re already visiting the Orlando area, it's a treat to cool off in the Atlantic’s waters. Grab fresh seafood and tropical cocktails at the Cocoa Beach Pier, take surfing lessons, kayak among the mangroves, and so much more. And further north, you can observe rocket launches from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral and finally learn why the area is called the Space Coast. Welcome to the 3-2-1 or Countdown County.
