Cocoa Beach is about an hour from Disney. It's nice, if touristy. Further south is Vero Beach, which is quieter.

Cocoa Beach is not a winner. Native Floridian here. Not a decent hotel in the whole town. Beach is s bit of a mess. It's hard to find a good beach. I would drive to Vero like PP suggested.

Cocoa Beach is OK. The Doubletree, which is in a quieter part of Cocoa Beach, away from the pier and north of downtown, is a nice hotel.

When we do a day trip from my brother's house in Orlando we go to New Smyrna. It has beautiful wide beaches like Daytona, but it's quieter and nicer.

I'm the PP and a native Floridian as well. I think your view of Cocoa is a bit harsh. I've stayed at a couple of hotels there and found them OK, like the Radisson across from the port.

For a week it's not where I'd stay, but would be fine for a overnight/weekend.

We have one ticket left from our last trip to Disney. Would like to do 1 Disney day and head to the beach.

Where can we go that is 1-2 hours from Orlando?
