A Quick History of Cocoa Beach
Attempts at development date back to the early 1900s, but Cocoa Beach took off in the mid twentieth century as the nearby U.S. space program expanded at Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. The city’s surf culture layered onto its space age identity gives it a distinctive character today.
