I'm flying into MCO and would like to dash over to Cocoa Beach for the afternoon. I've never been to any of the FL East Coast beaches; could someone recommend a public access area with good parking and restroom facilities? Thanks!

Lori Wilson is our favorite in that area(free parking), But you could also check out the Pier. There are places to eat, drink, and a good bathroom on the pier. You have to pay to park there, though. Ron Johns the tourist surf/beach store is about a mile away and that beach at the end of 520 is a good tourist beach, too.

Lori Wilson is nice, and free. Jetty Park is paid access, but it offers some amenities that can be nice, bathrooms, showers, snack bar, a small shop for something you may have forgotten to bring... You can walk to Jetty Park from Lori Wilson. It's probably a little less than a mile along the coastline.

That's at least a 5 mile walk by the roads, so not much less on the beach, they are not close. Jetty Park is near the port in Cape Canaveral, Lori Wilson park is halfway between 520 and downtown Cocoa Beach.



Shepard Park is at the end of 520 and although there are no restrooms, Sandbar is right there for food/drinks and restroom. It is paid parking, though.
