Did
you know?
When
you place an
order from these
merchants, they
contribute a small
commission to
QuaintPlaces.com.
These
commissions
do not increase
the cost of your
purchases.
Only
purchases
made within a few
days after your
initial "click" to
their sites generate
commissions for us.
These
commissions,
and sales of our
own
cards, are necessary
to help defray the
cost of maintaining
QuaintPlaces.com,
which currently
operates at a loss.
Your
purchases will
help us provide
more
information
and photos about
quaint places.

Cocoa
Village,
Florida
(a
QuaintVIllage)
|
Small historic downtown Cocoa
is called Cocoa Village today. It is on the mainland, near I-95,
just west of Merritt Island. Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, and the
Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge are nearby.
The popular Kennedy
Space Flight Visitors Center has a surprisingly high admission fee for a
federal facility. However, it takes 5 hours to tour the Center, which
includes an Imax theater.
Cocoa Village is
an outstanding place to visit, shop, and dine. Parking is
free. There is plenty of cool shade. You will find a wide range of original art here. We
highly recommend Cocoa Village.
