Getting around Cocoa Beach
The best airport is Orlando International Airport (MCO), which is about an hour’s drive to Cocoa Beach. Orlando serves all of the major U.S. airlines with numerous flight options from across the U.S. and internationally. Use our Expedia tool below to find flight, hotel, and rental car options.
Melbourne Airport (MLB) is another option, but flight service is limited from Allegiant, American, Delta, and TUI. This airport is only 20 miles away from Cocoa Beach, so it could be an excellent option for people who have access to cities that offer direct flights.
Nate says that it’s a good idea to rent a car when visiting Cocoa Beach so that you can visit all of the area’s major attractions. For the best offers, visit Avis, Budget, or Hertz.
When you’re staying around town, you can use the local bus or book a rideshare (Uber and Lyft) to get around.
If you only need a car for a couple of hours, you can rent by the hour with Zipcar. Join now to get $25 loaded into your account.
