    From Wikipedia:
    Cocoa Beach is a city in Brevard County, Florida, United States. The population was 11,539 at the 2018 United States Census. It is part of the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, Florida Metropolitan Statistical Area.
    In 1961, Ron-Jon opened their first store locally.
    In 1965, Cocoa Beach High School requested that Cocoa Avenue, the street that the school was located on, be renamed Minutemen Boulevard, in honor of the school's mascot, the Minuteman.
    Cocoa Beach started its major growth during the 1960s. There was a 1000% population increase from 1950 to 1960, mainly as a result of the U.S. space program. NASA's John F. Kennedy Space Center is located approximately 15 miles (24 km) north of town. Many people moved to Cocoa Beach due to jobs connected to the space program and in search of new opportunities.
    After manned space flights, the town held parades in honor of the astronauts.
    After NASA's Apollo program came to an end, and before the Space Shuttle program was in full swing, the town's economy reflected the resulting layoffs. At one point, in 1975, unemployment was 14.3%. Many families lost their jobs or simply moved away. The housing market plummeted and some people unable to sell their homes simply abandoned them.
    Cocoa Beach was the setting for the 1960s sitcom I Dream of Jeannie, although no episodes were actually filmed there, and star Barbara Eden only made two visits during the show's production - both in 1969, for publicity. Cocoa Beach High School was used as the school in the 2002 movie Race to Space.
    In 2002, 69% of the voters capped building height to 45 feet (14 m). Prior construction and later variances, resulted in about 80 buildings between 45 to 70 feet (14 to 21 m) high, as of 2018.
    The 2010 Nebula Awards were held in the city.
    In 2016, the largest mansion in the city was destroyed by fire. It had been built on the beach by Al Neuharth in 1975. It contained 10,000 square feet (930 m2) of living space, 11 bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. It was valued at several million dollars.
    Surfing manufacture and tourism add to Cocoa Beach's economy.
    Ron Jon Surf Shop
    Ron Jon's, a surf shop, receives 2 million visitors a year. Cocoa Beach is home to the East Coast Surfing Hall of Fame.
    The Cocoa Beach Pier, formerly known as the Cape Canaveral Pier, was built in 1962. An annual Easter Surfing Festival began in 1964. An estimated 100,000 spectators attend annually.
    An air show in 2009 drew a crowd estimated at 30,000.
    The Ron Jon Easter Surfing Festival drew 50,000 visitors in 2009.
    The largest charity surfing festival, National Kidney Foundation Pro-Am Surfing Festival, has been held every Labor Day Weekend in Cocoa Beach since 1985.
    In 2015 businesses in the city collected $5.6 million in tourist tax, over half the tourist tax collected in the county and more than any other municipality, $1.4 million.

    That whole area in Brevard county really isn’t all that spectacular, aside from attractions of course. Unfortunately there just isn’t many highways around there besides I-95 and the Beachline Expressway

    • @MileageMikeTravels
      @MileageMikeTravels  3 роки тому

      I agree on that. I didn't find any highways in the area worth filming so I just explored the cities.

    All U.S cities are exceptionally clean. They are just like Eden gardens on the Earth....

      Not quite. When you go to certain parts of most cities you'll see the poorer, more run down side of America.
