Every once in awhile on here I will feature a beach that I have been to or want to go to in the future. I will tell what I love about it and what there is to do on that particular beach. The first beach I am going to feature is Cocoa Beach Florida. It is located on the Space Coast near Cape Canaveral. This is our "home beach", the one we keep coming back to, because it is a great surfing beach. If you've ever wanted to surf, this is the beach to start out at! there are a number of surf schools here, the best of which is Space Coast Surf Company. The waves are great for beginners and even small ones are surf-able with a long board.
This is also a great beach because of the Cocoa Beach Pier. It was built in 1962 and stretches 800 ft over the Atlantic Ocean. It is home to 5 bars, 4 restaurants, shops and an ice cream parlor with an arcade (which makes a great sub sandwich, go figure)! This makes Cocoa Beach a very active beach, which adds to the atmosphere.
If you are not a surfer, shopper, or hungry for some great seafood, there is sand volleyball, boogie boarding, sandcastle making, shelling, or just plain lazing on the beach!
So take a little trip to Cocoa Beach. A little sun, sand, and surf never hurt anyone!
That sounds so nice! I'm ready for summer!
ReplyDeleteNever been there but I love the beach. We went to Mexico last year and I hated leaving that beach!

ReplyDeleteMy hubby and I went here for part of our honeymoon five years ago. It was nice to see some beautiful photos of this special place! :)
ReplyDeleteToo funny, I was just going to post that we went there on our honeymoon too 12 years ago! We drove up the coast after visiting Cape Canaveral one afternoon and we just loved it. We also ate a wonderful dinner at one of the restaurants there. Anywhere warm sounds wonderful about now!
ReplyDeleteI wish i was on a beach right now!
ReplyDeleteAww,how sweet LittlePeanutShop and Urban Design! glad i could bring back fond memories! We spent our 1 year anniversary there, great memories!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be lying on the beach right now! I guess I'll just have to dream :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks so inviting right about now. We're in for another blast of winter here, 4" of snow tonight/tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI love that you will be doing posts like this.. It just fits so well what you are about and what your shop is about! But...Oh, how I am longing for summer!! Luckily, in Texas, it will probably be here in a couple of weeks, lol! Speaking of warm weather...well, NOT speaking of warm weather..it is COLD here in NC! Even though we have only lived in Texas for a couple of months, I have become a wimp about the cold weather already, lol! Oh...I am digressing!
ReplyDeleteTalk to you later!
Kristin
Thanks Kristin! You'll have to tell me when it first reaches 80 in Texas. I will be so jealous! I am already a wimp when it comes to cold weather, I can't imagine what I'll be like after we move to Florida!
