Cocoa Beach and Cocoa beach Pier? The same ?

[~Jo~]

A little help please..? I am confused.. Last summer, we had a stop at port Canaveral and we took a shuttle to Cocoa beach. Besides the Ron Jon shop and Starbucks and another shop, there wasn't much. There was a nice beach with chair/umbrella rental but no food concessions, or bathroom facilities near the beach.

Is Cocoa beach Pier a place? Another place? Thanks.

Cocoa Beach Pier is a historical spot. It's a long structure featuring several restaurants and bars and nice oceanviews from the one on the end. It's between the port and Ron Jon's.

Thanks Royalcruz,

Is there a beach there as well, for those of us who want to sit and lay on the sand?

Yes the beach is right to the left if you are facing east (out to sea) the way the cruise ships leave.

LOL, we were there in December 2011 and it was rainy and in the 30s. I wore a winter coat and ran from the car to the pier for shelter, so I missed the beach! :)
