Go Paddle Board Cocoa Beach, Merritt Island

You don't have to travel far from the shores of Cocoa Beach to spot the cresting fins of dolphins and surfacing snouts of manatees, and Go Paddle Board Cocoa Beach gladly supplies individuals making excursions off-land. Their paddle boards make an ideal transport for these trips, allowing riders to stand and glide peacefully along the water as they navigate with a long paddle. More than 300 species of birds reward those with sharp eyes, including osprey diving for fish and pelicans filling their beak pouches with water to douse forgotten campfires. But the wildlife isn't the only draw of the aquatic jaunts—voyagers can ride waves into shore, or travel to islands in search of shells.
