Things to do in Cocoa Beach

Okay, you ask yourself the question... I'm visiting the Cocoa Beach area and I've never been there before, where do I go to get something to eat, shop with the locals, and what do I do when I'm looking for fun? If you're a local, come to my website to see what's going on or tell me what's going on so I can let everyone know.

Hi, I'm Gina and welcome to my website, I have created my site with a two-fold purpose with hopes that you will enjoy and visit often. First is to promote Cocoa Beach and the surrounding areas including Orlando and the many things I like to do. Secondly, offer a way for our friends and family to read about what's going on in my family's lives.

Growing up in East Central Florida on an island near Cocoa Beach I've never taken for granted the beautiful lagoons, beaches and waterways surrounding our barrier island home. Although our population has grown over the years, so has the opportunity for a girl to have fun with local activities and exciting friends.

Most evenings are spent with our family at home. I typically am a homemaker that helps my husband with our business by returning phone calls and emails for our fishing charter business but when the weekend comes I transform into Cindy Lauper's Girls Just Want to Have Fun and hit the dance floor with my husband and friends or go out for some beach fun at a surf contest with my surfing friends and families.

I work for a group of local Florida Fishing Guides that love the water and sunshine as much as I do. On almost any given day you'll find me scheduling fishing trips, helping with provisions or making lunches. It's a wonderful job that's every beach girl's dream, I even get to take friends out in the boats to a favorite fishing or swimming hole. I don't clean fish but I love sushi...

If you're looking for something to do while your visiting the Cocoa Beach area near Orlando, Florida, take a poke around my website and while I'm updating it on a regular basis you might find something interesting to do from outdoors to dining.

North at Port Canaveral and The Cove

Great Restarants, Charter Fishing and Night life marks the Port as a local favorite place to hang out get a drink and watch the boats come in with their catches. The epicenter of the Port is a place called the cove that has four main restaruants, Grills, Milliken's Reef, Rustys and Fishlips.

Central Cocoa Beach Ron Jons and the Cocoa Beach Pier

The State Road 520 corridor coming into the Central Part of Cocoa Beach is probably the most touristy part of our area. The world famous Ron Jon's Surf Shop and The Cocoa Beach Surf Company is the center of attention along with the Dinasour Store Museum and the Alan Sheperd Park beach front park.

South Downtown Cocoa Beach

Driving south on A1A the road divides and becomes much more residential but there's still plenty to do as you approach Minuteman Causeway and Downtown Cocoa Beach. Small Boutiques, Restaurants and Bars are available and a great park for the beach combers and sun worshipers. Locals and Tourist alike hang out at Coconuts on The Beach to have a drink and food, I buy many of my bikinis at Marchicitas and there's a great Cuban Restaruant called Roberto's. There's plenty of boutiques for the shopper in the Downtown area it's a great place for us gals to visit and shop around for something special and unique. The kids will like the Cocoa Beach Skatepark a public pool and beaches, there's a great Municiple Cocoa Beach Golf Course on the Banana River Lagoon for the Men & Women Golfers and plenty of tennis courts too.
