Sidney Fischer Park Beach

 Sidney Fischer Park beach

 

GPS coordinates: 28.344748, -80.607695

Location: 2426 N. Atlantic Avenue, Cocoa Beach, FL

Directions: This park is on A1A (North Atlantic Avenue) about half a mile south of S.R. 520 at Fisher Park Drive.

Hours: After sunrise to dusk. Bathhouse open from 9 am to 6 pm.

Entrance Fee: $5 paid via machine. The machine says it accepts $1, $5, and $10 notes, but I wouldn’t trust it to provide change for a $10. I had problems with it accepting my 5th $1 bill and it wouldn’t give me a refund even after repeated presses of the “refund” button. Finally after numerous tries I triumphed.

This rather unremarkable beach access park is squeezed in between two medium-sized condominiums and has about 200 parking spaces. It has restrooms and outdoor rinse-off showers. It also has very good picnic pavilions and a small children’s playground, but both are several hundred feet from the beach. There is a small gazebo with benches with enough foliage around it for some privacy.
