Cocoa Beach has over 30 miles of sandy beach and is a popular destination for surfers.

"Cocoa Beach is renowned for its calm, consistent waves. That, combined with the fact the water is shallow enough to simply wade out past the breakers, makes it an ideal place to learn to surf. You can take a lesson, rent a board, or bring your own. It's one of the best places to surf in the state, making it one of the top things to do in Cocoa Beach." Source: (
