The beach is adjacent to all of the area's major attractions including Kennedy Space Center. It also has an upbeat night life and hot spots such as 16th Street attract some of the world's best surfers. Visit the world-renown Ron Jon Surf Shop, which is open 24 hours a day or Brevard Museum of History and Natural Science to retrace the area's roots. Beach outlets include Lori Wilson Park, hotels and the numbered streets past downtown Cocoa Beach.
