The Surf Shack is in a great location in the historic Cocoa Beach downtown area where you can walk to the river, beach, ocean, restaurants, bars, and shops. The house is right by (only 2 houses away) a boat launch for the Banana River. Our guests have often seen dolphin and manatees swimming by when they take the kayaks out on the river. We are at the north end of the Thousand Island area which is a refuge for these amazing marine mammals.
