COMMENTS: (12/17/2009) I visited Cocoa beach for the first time in augsut of this year for a portion of my honeymoon-we went on a cruise that left from cape Canaveral. It was amazing at how laid back and comfortable this community really was. You never felt like a 'tourist'. Ever. It was great. We were there for about a week and I could spend days telling you all the wonderful things about this place! Thank you Cocoa Beach to giving me a great honeymoon! I cannot wait until my next visit. :)
