Today, we want to talk to the adventurers in our midst, the travelers who are always looking for the next place to explore and don’t mind if their favorite traveling companions can’t join in the fun. A solo vacation in Cocoa Beach offers adventures that will speak to your soul, long days of beach laziness and evenings filled with fabulous sunsets, and because you chose Happy Palm Stays, nights filled with deep sleep and happy dreams. If this is your first time traveling alone, these tips and tricks will help make your Florida getaway a vacation that will pale in comparison to all others.
Finding All the Things to Do
Any vacation can be a letdown without a little research, but when you visit Cocoa Beach, we make it easy to fill in all the empty slots in your itinerary. This may be your first visit, and you may not realize how close the Kennedy Space Center Visitor’s Complex is (just 21 miles away) or that the Fat Snook (2464 S Atlantic Avenue) offers the best seafood in the area. You could purchase any of those travel books you see on the shelves of your local Barnes and Noble, or you could simply click on our area guide link and find everything that makes Cocoa Beach (and the surrounding areas) fun and exciting. We put a lot of thought into our guides, ensuring that your vacation in Cocoa Beach will be one you never forget.
The Hardest Part of Traveling Alone
Surprisingly, the hardest part of traveling alone is often the simplest. Dining out alone, no one to talk to, no one to share desserts with, and no one to talk about other diners with in low whispers and feeling as if all eyes are watching you is not a fun way to spend a meal, and many will be tempted to stay home and order takeout. But you, our intrepid traveler, deserve to experience an epicurean adventure that reflects a true taste of Florida, and there are ways to enjoy your solo meals that will ensure that you never have fears about dining alone again. You can learn to be comfortable with your own company, perhaps people watching over a southwest scramble from Whisk & Grind (410 N Atlantic Avenue) or you can bring a book along and read your favorite author’s works while devouring a grouper sandwich from Sunset Café (500 W Cocoa Beach Causeway). Surfing through your social media sites while enjoying a lobster dinner at Coconuts on the Beach (2 Minutemen Causeway) can help ward off social anxiety, and when you finish off your meal with their Key Lime Pie, you will be happy that you don’t have to split your pie with anyone else!
Take Part in a Local Festival
The best way to get to know the area you are visiting is by attending a local festival, and because it is hard to feel alone when surrounded by people having the time of their life, attending the Viera County Fest in Melbourne may help you fall in love with traveling alone. Held in Wickham Park in Melbourne on July 13, this wonderful festival is all about the music offering performances by more than a few local bands. In addition to the music, guests will find arts and craft vendors, food trucks, and a beer tent that will make you realize that nothing tastes better on a hot summer’s day than an ice cold beer enjoyed while the music is playing.
Share Your Adventures with Your Friends Back Home
You may think that you are alone on this solo journey to the Space Coast, but the truth of the matter is everyone you know and love is with you, supporting you and cheering you on. It’s important that you don’t let them down, so post those pictures you took of little girls in red swimsuits running after seabirds that she has startled off white sand beaches, go live from the Kennedy Space Center, showing off the history and the future of the heavens, and post videos of your surf lessons, taken from the Ron Jon Surf School. Every adventure you experience will be one that your “followers” (also known as friends and family) will experience alongside you, leaving you anything buy alone on this journey in Cocoa Beach.
