Local hoop sessions?

In town for a few days, looking for somewhere to get some runs in. Any basketball players/hoopers in here that can point me in the right direction?

Missing some of the best things in Cocoa Beach

I was reading this post about Cocoa Beach and I feel like this girl has missed a few things! What about the bioluminescent kayak tour? And I always love Florida’s Seafood Bar & Grill too.

Weather in the area

I'm flying into Orlando on Sunday and staying in Cocoa beach for a week. How are things going in the area with the current hurricane? What's the weather typically like post-hurricane? TIA

Sightseeing/ Places to go

Visiting cocoa beach/ meritt island for 2 more weeks. Ive check out a few spots but a lot of the beachs on this strip look the same. I’m looking for ideas geared towards spaces attraction’s, national parks/ outdoors stuff. I’d like some recommendations and suggestions. Things already planned: Kennedy Space Center Bioluminescence kayaking Trip to everglads and airboat ride Possibly jet up left side over skybridge into clear water beach and st. Petes. Maybe skip tampa Heard st aguestines is worth checking out north. Best area to surf? Cocoa beach near the hiltons was alright. Looking at a tiki boat ride/ dolphin sight seeing. Maybe rent an ebike and cruise the beach. Thanks in advance

Riding on the beach?

I just moved to the area and still don’t know all the rules so sorry if this is a stupid question… are there any rules against riding electric scooters or bikes on the beach? There’s lots of rental places so I think it’d be fun to ride an electric bike on the sand. Is that allowed? Thank you :) Also unrelated but is there a beach nearby you can drive onto? Thanks again

Question for the sailing community

Are there any free anchorages around for a couple weeks? I’ve found marinas, mostly month to month, but I’m just looking for a spot to anchor and/or moor for a couple weeks before moving northward. I’ve seen a lot of anchored boats around Indian river and was wondering what the legality was in regards to anchoring.

Best Beach Bar/Restaurant

Last night in Cocoa/Merritt Island and I really want to enjoy the beautiful Florida weather by the water with a nice drink and something delicious to eat. We’ve done The Pier and Coconuts. So, where do the people in the know go to enjoy a nice night (preferably with drinks not rum based)?

Thank you for having such a lovely town.

Night beach creature?

I don’t have a photo unfortunately. I was fishing on cocoa beach and the sun set maybe a half hour ago. I turned on my flashlight and something literally ran out of the water towards me. I barely seen it. But I heard its little feet running. Any ideas??? It looked a little too big to be a crab unless it was just huge. But its feet made noise against the water!

Best beaches?

I read that the beach in Lori Wilson Park was one of the best in the area. What do you all recommend?

Very large dark spots in ocean at Table Beach

Spent all day at the beach yesterday, few times I saw a very large black area underwater that almost looked like a shadow from the sun or something moving underwater. Shape was pretty uniform but edges weren’t clearly defined. It was in the distance, at least a mile out. It moved south to north. Sometimes there was a large spot and a smaller behind it. It was really large and slow moving. Took 2-3 minutes to move in/out of my field of view. Any ideas?

Need some help with my trip plans

Hello everyone!

About 1-2 years ago I went to Cocoa. Great experience. I'm going again Tuesday and coming home on Friday. We had some plans change and we need to have our dog taken care of. We don't seem to have anyone able to take care of him, sadly.

We are staying at Beachside Hotel and Suites. They have pet friendly rooms, but we want to go to the beach. Sites are saying pets can't be left alone in the rooms.

We are a party of 3, and one of us was going to stay in the room and watch him, but I feel rude making them. I don't feel comfortable boarding him. Anyone with a dog stay at Beachside? Tips?

Cheers!

Edit: We had a great time. He stayed home and we got people to watch him in the end.

Why do all restaurants close early?

We are on vacation and can’t find anything open past 9pm. Everyone in the area is on vacation so it’s odd to me that things wouldn’t be open later.

Fast food of course is, but anything on the Atlantic Strip open later?

Weather in August

I’ve got a business trip coming up in August. In general, what is the weather like in August? Is it too hot and uncomfortable to be out and about? I live in California, and the temp today is 108 with humidity at 20%. How would you say Cocoa Beach compares to that?

Wired alternatives to Spectrum in Cocoa ?

Hi. I'm trying to help an elderly family member save some money. Is there's an alternative to Spectrum for Internet service ? Some local towns have multiple wired options. Thank you!
