Lori Wilson Park is a popular spot for birdwatchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quaint village of Cocoa Beach is a great place for families and people of all ages to spend a day or a weekend with family and friends. Enjoy a scenic sunset cruise on the Atlantic Ocean or take a tour of the historic buildings along Atlantic Avenue. The Florida Surf Museum is located on the North Atlantic Avenue, which is a must for a fun-filled day trip. The museum was founded in 1999 in a modest space, but it has grown into an impressive location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer a family outing, Cocoa Beach has plenty of options for outdoor activities. You can go boogie boarding and enjoy the playful Atlantic waves. You can also picnic at the nearby Lori Wilson Park. There are restroom facilities, a play area, and pavilions for picnicking. There are even chair rentals, so there&#8217;s no reason to go anywhere else. During the holidays, you can celebrate the holiday season at the city&#8217;s many attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kayaking is another popular way to spend the day. You can go on a kayak tour to view the wildlife in the Indian River Lagoon, or bird watch in the aviaries. You can take a picture of your trip to share with your family and friends on Instagram! If you&#8217;re not into kayaking, you should try to spend a day on the water instead. You won&#8217;t regret it. If you&#8217;re looking for a fun family outing, this is the perfect place to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a place to eat, there are plenty of options in this area for all tastes and budgets. If you&#8217;re in the mood for seafood, head to Coconuts on the Water, Fat Snook, Florida&#8217;s Fresh Grill, and Fat Kahunas. There are several restaurants in Cocoa Beach, and many of them accept reservations. For dinner, make sure to book well in advance, as many places get booked up fast during the summer. If you&#8217;re not a fan of reservations, try visiting the website of TripAdvisor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town of Cocoa Beach offers a variety of restaurants, from fine dining to casual eating.
