Fun Things To Do!
Of course, there are the obvious things to do in Cocoa Beach and the Space Coast. Some of our favorites are:
But there is so much more!
Kennedy Space Center: We have not been in several years - but friends of ours were just there and could not believe how AWESOME it was. It has really changed - improved with technology and all the space related stuff going on now! It's not a cheap outing - but well worth it!
Brevard Zoo: We have no visited - but hear great things! https://brevardzoo.org/

Golf:
- There is a great public golf course 7 min. drive from the condo's. There are 3 nine hole courses. Most of the time the starters don't give the option - but ask if you can play the River Course. You can see why, HERE (in red). The Website o the course is: https://www.cityofcocoabeach.com/413/Golf-Course
- If you're military or past military, Patrick Air Force Base is an option. The base is about 15 minute drive south. https://www.gopatrickfl.com/golf-course.html
