Cocoa Beach Area Beaches

Jetty Beach Park is located at the north end of the beach, which is actually in Port Canaveral, Florida. A wide and flat beach ideal for the kids to skim board, football, wade and play. Visitors to the area say the best and least crowded beach days are the when the cruise ships set sail from the port which are Sundays and Thursdays. Space shuttle launches are also visible from this beach. Jetty Park Beach Amenities: Lifeguards, restrooms, snack bar, bait shop, break wall fishing, camping, picnic area, and boardwalk.

Cherie Downs Beach Park is another popular beach in the area that is not too crowded, has free parking, bathrooms and a shower.
