Public Works

Maintaining the City of Cocoa Beach for residents, visitors, and businesses.

The Public Works Department provides a wide range of services to both the community and internal City departments. While most people associate Public Works with streets, parks, and grounds maintenance, Cocoa Beach's unique location requires us to also maintain beach access areas, dune crossovers, sidewalks, and bikeways, which are heavily used by both year-round residents and seasonal visitors.
