Cocoa Beach, Beach city in Brevard County, Florida, US.
Located halfway between Jacksonville and Miami, Cocoa Beach stretches along the Atlantic Ocean with white sand beaches and numerous public access points.
The city incorporated in 1925 and experienced substantial growth during the 1960s space race due to its proximity to Kennedy Space Center.
Each December, hundreds of surfers dressed as Santa Claus gather at the beach for the annual Surfing Santas celebration, drawing thousands of spectators.
The city maintains three public schools, including two International Baccalaureate institutions: Freedom 7 Elementary and Cocoa Beach High School.
The Cocoa Beach Pier extends 800 feet over the Atlantic Ocean, offering fishing opportunities and multiple restaurants since its construction in 1962.
