    Entrance to park
    Em S.

    Great beach with ample parking, showers, etc. Trash is collected on a daily basis from the dumpsters, so not smelly to walk by. Lifeguards start at 10am. Decent surf off this beach and not near the pier where fishermen are continuously chumming and have lines in. This was also a good, uncrowded spot to watch the Mars Rover Perseverance launch.

    Beach in front of Alan Shepard Park.

    Beautiful park, good parking and nice beach access. The beach is gorgeous btw. We walked all the way down to the pier and back. It's also close to many places to eat if you wanted to just park and walk around.

    Fun making a hole to sit in...

    Great! $15 to park but worth it for the bathrooms and showers. We drove in from Orlando for the day and needed something like this. The pier was crazy and no where to park, so we went down to the park. There was a place to rent chairs, umbrellas, and cabanas.

    Great park, easy parking w a fresh rinse station in the parking lot. Easy beach access (we came for the beach mostly).

    It's also right behind Ron Jon's Surf Shop and a great place to watch rocket launches from nearby Cape Canaveral.

    While on my drive I had came across this park so I decided to make a stop at it. I wanted to go on…read morethe beach and this was just the right place to be able to stop at to get a good view of the beach. It was free to go here and parking was very easy and accessible. If you are needing to use the restroom they do have a bathroom out here. Again if you are looking to be able to get a good view of the beach then definitely stop here.

    This is my go to spot to park at when visiting Cocoa Beach! There is plenty of parking and the best…read morepart about it is that it is FREE. I enjoy watching sunrises and this parking lot is open all the time to be able to park super early and walk out to the beach. There were so many bunnies running around in the early hours so there must be quite a bit of burrows nearby. The park/parking lot area seemed to be well kept. Everything looked clean with no trash thrown about. The trash cans were empty and not overflowing. There is a decent shower out front. Bathrooms were located nearby, however I did not go in them so I cannot speak on them or their cleanliness. The beach boardwalk was nice. The wood was in good shape and provided a nice stroll out to the sand. The beach was clean and beautiful. We had the most amazing morning here watching the sunrise and got beautiful photos. While we were there a photographer was getting shots of someone and I know they came out great because the backdrop was perfect. There is a Hilton next door with a restaurant inside so if you wish to walk over for a bite to eat, its only a few minute walk.

    Our stay at Beach Island Resort was excellent from beginning to end…read more The resort is located directly on the beach in Cocoa Beach, which made it easy to enjoy the ocean throughout the day. We stayed in a two-bedroom unit, and it felt much more like a beach cottage or apartment than a traditional hotel room. The space included a full kitchen, a comfortable living area, and separate bedrooms and bathrooms, which made it ideal for relaxing and spreading out. The property was quiet, clean, and well maintained. Having a full kitchen and multiple bedrooms made the stay especially convenient and comfortable, and it worked perfectly for our group. Penny, who manages the resort, was a pleasure to work with. She was friendly, responsive, and clearly takes pride in the property. Her attention and professionalism really stood out and added to the overall experience. If you're looking for a beachfront hotel in Cocoa Beach with two-bedroom accommodations, full kitchens, and a more laid-back feel than large resorts, this is a great option. It's a wonderful choice for families or anyone wanting more space right on the beach. We would definitely stay here again. -- Charlie I.

    A Perfect Beach Getaway!…read more Beach Island Resort truly makes the most of its space, and has absolutely everything you need for a relaxing and convenient stay! They have a fully equipped BBQ area, with a large patio, tables, chairs, and all the grilling accessories you could need! They have a picnic/lounge area with an ocean view! They have a laundry room, which to us is a big deal! We always like to wash everything up before we head home! I can honestly say that the resort goes above and beyond to add so many thoughtful touches like menus for all the local eateries, books, games, and a beautiful breeze way with a beautiful and comfy seating area. It has a heated private pool, a private hot tub, and direct private beach access. Plus, every beach amenity you could need! Penny, is the on-site manager, is available 24/7 and was always ready to help in anyway she could and answer any questions we had! Walt Disney World, SeaWorld, and Universal are just an hour away, which is perfect because we went to the parks 2 of the days we stayed! We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience! Space Coast Vacation Rentals continues to be our top choice for our Florida vacations! Highly recommend!
