Thaw out your winter bones this spring in the fun-filled Sunshine

State. Located in the heart of Florida’s Space Coast, Cocoa Beach

is a seaside escape that’s simply out of this world.

What to do:

Beaches range from quiet coves to bustling people-

watching paradises. There are also diverse shopping possibilities,

fantastic sportfishing opportunities, and golf courses galore. And then

there’s the Kennedy Space Center, which is definitely

not

your typical

tourist attraction. With rocket launches and myriad space-related

exhibits, it’s an exhilarating and educational vacation experience.

Where to do it:

The beaches are omnipresent and run the

length of the barrier island on the east side of A1A, so finding your

slice of heaven is as easy as parking your car and dropping your

blanket. Meander along the tree-shaded streets of Historic Cocoa

Village, taking time to peruse a plethora of shops, restaurants, artist

studios, and galleries. Choose from three championship courses at

Cocoa Beach Country Club. And when you’re ready to pursue the

catch of a lifetime, you’ll find a multitude of charter boats ready to

make it happen at Sunrise Marina at Port Canaveral.

Why go now:

Surf temperatures are comfortable, and the sun’s

rays are a tanner’s dream. And since the heat of the summer hasn’t

fully arrived, morning and afternoon tee times work equally well. If

sportfishing is on your agenda, this is the best time of the year to catch

a hard-fighting (and delicious) mahimahi (locally known as dolphin, and

not

to be confused with the sea mammal), along with a host of other

pelagic species that are often found just a few miles from shore.

Insider’s tip:

Launch Control Center Tour, and gain access to the firing room from

which every space shuttle launch was overseen from 2006 until the

program’s end in 2011.
