About 20 minutes away from our place, we have few beaches that we can choose to go to. We were trying to explore further down South towards the Satellite Beach. As we drove down the South Atlantic Avenue, we saw quiet a few cars parked on the parking lot so; we decided to go and look at this place. Blockhouse Beach is clean and a nice beach to hang out. ,
Hubby enjoyed walking along the shoreline barefoot while I was having a comfortable siesta on my beach chair and taking some photos. If you are in Orlando vacationing, come to the Space Coast. The beach is just an hour away.
It was a scorcher this week so; my husband and I decided to check out the beach after sunset. It was 6:00 PM when we head to Cocoa Beach and we were surprised to know that the parking fee was lifted off. We went in and thought we will not bring our beach chairs. We decided to just walk by the shore. I actually brought my two-piece if in case I'm tempted to swim. There were a lot of people who did their exercise, jogging and running along the shoreline. Some were picking up seashells.
It was already sunset and beach goers started to pack-up their things, ready to head home. We stayed there for two hours just walking along the shoreline and enjoying the sea breeze. The sea water is so cool when it touches our feet. Hubby is so white LOL and I am the opposite. The water is tempting but, I did not swim.
The Cocoa Beach Pier was crowded at that time. There were quite a few who are fishing while most of them are enjoying their beer at the Tiki Bar. Hubby and I thought that having a condo by the beach must be cool to have. Access to the beach is a walking distance. The sunrise here is really cool. One day, we will be here to catch the sunrise.
That is all for now folks. If you happen to visit Orlando for Disney/Universal Studio visits, check out Cocoa Beach area. This place is about an hour drive from Orlando.
We stayed on the outdoor yesterday. We went as far as the South Atlantic almost to the Satellite Beach. We have our beach chairs set up and just enjoying the breeze from the Atlantic ocean. I did not swim because the heat was a scorcher. After two hours, hubby and I decided to go to the mall and shop a little bit. We head back home and relax. After sundown, we went back to the beach and this time, we went to Cocoa Beach and stayed there up to 8PM.

While driving by the neighborhood by the river and canal that heads out to the sea, hubby and I thought that buying a jet ski is reasonable. We live 5 minutes away by the Indian River and on a Sunday, water sports activity is truly busy down the river and the beach. Some families went out for boating, jet skiing, fishing, water gliding, canoeing, kayaking and many more. Now, hubby is thinking to buy a jet ski, I love the idea for sure.
We live nearby the beach but, it's been weeks that we have not visited Cocoa. We were very busy for the holiday. On the first week of January, we were caught up with a minor problem with our renter. She moved with no payment for a week and did not give us a notice. We were relieved really. The condo was vacant for 4 days, someone moved on the 13th. Glad that we were done cleaning and re-painting the condo before the viewing. And today, is a movie Monday. Boy, I am so glad! Have you seen the new Les Miserables?
Anyway, we will be heading to the beach any day this week. I miss walking on the sand and enjoying the sea breeze. I have a new DSLR and never tried it. This week is the biggest test for my photography prowess.
With these pictures, I am only using my Blackberry phone and no special feature whatsoever. I still think it was alright. What do you think?
I can't wait to use my DSLR and take some good shots by the beach. Thanks for stopping by and please visit here next time.
I lived in Florida for 4 years now but, I never tried swimming downn the beach. This is Cocoa Beach, noted for many shark attacks. The beach is less than an hour drive from where we live, my husband and I often hang out here.
I am totally scared with sharks and that's the reason why I won't go swimming. Shallow reasoning huh? Oh I dont swim in the river too, there are gators lurking in there too, funny but, true. Swimming pool? Oh yeah, that's the safe place to swim.
