Nice summary of what the charming community of Cocoa has to offer cruisers lucky enough to stop here.

There is also a free dock in Cocoa just  south of the [Cocoa] bridge and west of the channel. Carries 5 ft at the dock. Room  for 2-3 boats. More if you raft off. 2-3 blocks to town. Good restaurants (Black  Rose or Black Orchid, also a pizza place whose name escapes me). Monday  evenings, an entertaining jazz ensemble plays at the local coffee house/ice  cream parlour on the corner (again I don't remember the name). I think they also  play in the park on Saturdays. Maybe some others can fill in the blanks  here.

The pizza restaurant is Ossorio and they are the ones that have Monday jaz.

There is another Pizza location that we thought was very good, Ryan's Village Inn.  Ryan's is just behind the park area, and a real "don't miss" is Travis Hardware Store, even if you do not need any hardware.  They have everything from wooden wagon wheels, potbelly stoves, bolts and screws.  And Phil, what were the fuel prices when you were there?
