Looking for ways to beat the heat this summer? Look no further--while Cocoa Beach may be hot, it's home to adventures and excursions that are undeniably cool, too.

Take a look at today's blog for tips on how to best cool down and enjoy your Cocoa Beach experience, all season long!

Pack light

You won't need a lot to enjoy your time in Cocoa Beach. Life here is casual, fun, and sunny--so feel free to travel light. (You'll probably want to save some room for souvenirs, anyway!)

Of course, when doing so, you should also take measures to pack "light"--that is, lightweight clothing that can keep you shielded from the sun while still cooling you down. A comfy t-shirt, shorts, and your lucky baseball cap are perfect for a day of fun and exploring in Cocoa Beach.

Switch up your schedule

When possible, schedule outdoor activities (like the beach, pool, hikes, etc.) in the earlier or later parts of the day--before 11 am and after 3 pm--so that you can enjoy a cooler experience when the sun's not so strong.

There's plenty to keep you occupied during those strong sunlight hours, of course--why not take a relaxing helicopter ride over the shoreline? --but we'll get to that later!

Lather up

Sunscreen is, of course, cool when you apply it--but its cooling effects go far beyond that initial lathering up. Putting on plenty of sunscreen now will ensure that you keep your cool (and prevent that dreaded sunburn), leaving room for more outdoor fun throughout your day.

Jump in

Never pass up a chance to enjoy a cooling dip into the water! Ride the waves off Cocoa Beach itself, or paddle board along the beautiful Banana River. The water, plus the welcome breeze it delivers, is sure to please even on the hottest days.

"Go to the beach" in an all new way

You've been to the beach--by foot, anyway. Why not visit your famous coastal spot in an all new way?

For a pleasant break from sun-fueled adventures, cool off and let us do the work on a Cocoa Beach helicopter tour. You'll be able to enjoy some downtime as you ride above the waves, the shore, and the people below.

What better way to cool off?

We hope that these tips help you pack smart and soak up all the summertime fun that Cocoa Beach has to offer. We look forward to seeing you soon!
