I love that I live in a state with beaches because at any given time, I can entirely drive over as well as have a mini staycation, then i live in Cocoa as well as the beach is approximately 10 miles from my home, and on hot Summer days, one of my favorite things I enjoy is to go to the Cocoa Beach pier; There are a bunch of bars, restaurants as well as shops to explore… Because the pier is on the water, it’s always nice to walk along it because there is always a cool breeze from the ocean.
- And if it gets too hot, I can entirely go inside one of the air conditioned restaurants or stores to cool off.
The temperatures can get up into the high 90’s here, so it’s always good to find somewhere to get some reprieve from the heat. I have lived in Cocoa for 20 years, so by now, you would believe that I would be used to the tepid weather. I truthfully don’t believe if I will ever get used to it. I intentionally system my morning around the weather, but on the weekends, if the temperature is above 90 degrees, I will either go out early in the morning or later in the night. This way, I can be inside in the air conditioner at the hottest point in the morning, so, when I drive over to the beach, I get there by 8 a.m. as well as then by noon or 1, I am packing up to get out of the heat. If I don’t drive home immediately, I usually visit one of the bars with a/c. Or sometimes I head to the grocery store because I believe that their air conditioner will be on high there. These are just little things I do to escape the brutal heat while residing in Cocoa.
