After yesterday’s excitement, we had a sleep in, then headed
out to Cocoa Beach. Cocoa Beach is out on a barrier island, reached by a
causeway, and was made famous in “I Dream of Jeannie”. We pulled in at the
Cocoa Beach Pier and parked. The parking attendant only charged us for one
parking space, even though we took 2. It was lovely and warm and the beach
looked very inviting, so we went for a long walk, past beach volleyball games,
surfers, families at play, and people walking and on pushbikes. When wet, the
sand is a light brown colour, hence the name.
After the walk we strolled along the pier to the end and sat
at the Tiki Bar for a drink and to take in the view and the live music. It got
a little chilly, so we moved into the restaurant for lunch. Steve had Buffalo
wings and Ros had a prawn bucket.
After lunch we headed into the town of Cocoa and the quaint
historic shopping district. We browsed, did some wine tasting, and dropped into
a pirate shoppe. All good fun and a nice way to spend the day.
