    I was born here, my Mother grew up here during the late 40's and 50's. My Grandmother ran a diner during the late 40's, it was called Lee's diner.

    Pretty good tourist video but as a 42 year resident of Cocoa Beach, I can assure you that locals don't make a "beeline" to Lori Wilson Park. There's miles of beach here that are quieter and less crowded. The pier isn't what it used to be. To commercialize now. I don't know any of my neighbors that shop at the "Ron Jon Surf Shop Super Center". There are to many small, mom and pop shops here to support and buy your gear at with none of the Ron Jon like trinkets made in the Philippines. Overall, I enjoyed watching. Great quality. Side note. The reason why the I Dream of Jeannie Lane sign is mounted so high on a cement pole, is that when it was a normal street sign, people kept stealing it. LOL

    Thanks for the nice piece on Cocoa Beach! I might be biased, but feel this is a great beach town! I like how you tied in Cocoa Village too. Besides the shops there you mentioned, Travis hardware is the areas oldest hardware store and has some cool things to explore

    Your surf video at the end was more true to reality than the aqua water at the beginning. We do not have aqua water...we have what you showed at the end. You did a nice profile of this place. There are other features but you hit the top places. Fat Donkey has very good ice cream and a go to place for a visit and if you are downtown a go to place. Tiny Turtle next door is also a good place. Roberto's is sadly gone.

    I didn’t realize that ice cream shop has such unique flavors. I regret to say I’ve walked right past it a number of times dismissing it at just another so-so place to take kids. I will definitely stop in next time! I’ve been to the Exploration Tower twice and was surprised at the low number of visitors. Very quiet and certainly easy to find a parking spot. For anyone looking for accommodations, I highly recommend The Surf Studio which is a well preserved/maintained motel right on the beach. It has a cool, old Florida vibe and the owner, Greg, and his staff are the best. BTW thanks for including Cocoa Village in addition to the beach. Lovely little neighborhood!
