One of the reasons why we moved to Cocoa is the beach. We live about 17 miles away and to get here is such a smooth ride. First, we will be passing the gorgeous view of the Indian River which is a waterway in Florida. It is a part of the Indian River Lagoon system which forms the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. It is an estuarine system where freshwater meets salt water within the same body of water. We often times saw people fishing, boating and kayaking.
Then, we also pass by the awesome view of the Banana River, a lagoon between Cape Canaveral and Merritt Island. It has an outlet to the Atlantic Ocean and this river provides habitat for many marine species. After enjoying the ride, we will then arrive to Cocoa Beach Pier where Mai Tiki Bar is located. The picture below is Mai Tiki Bar, about 800 feet over the ocean and once you get here, you will love the view from each sides.

If you are in Breavard County and you happen to be in Cocoa area, you should check out Cocoa Beach Pier. You will find the Mai Tiki Bar at the end part of the Pier. Once you see this sign, you will see a gate and a small amount of fee is collected. The fee is worth paying for especially when you want to go fishing or watching sunset.
When there is a storm or hurricane, the entrance fee is lifted. I took these pictures when Hurricane Sandy was miles and miles away but, as you can see, the waves are coming on strong.
The waves are actually 12 ft high. There were few people who came to this area and it was raining so hard. Mai Tiki Bar was close.
More or less, we are about 20 who went all the way to the end of Mai Tiki Bar. It was scary because the waves hit hard on the pillars of Cocoa Beach Pier. I can feel that the area was shaken by the big waves.
On a nice weather, this place is spectacular. Visit Brevard County and visit Cocoa Beach Pier. Remember, the Mai Tiki Bar is located at the end part of Cocoa Beach Pier. Enjoy your visit.
