Over to gulf side definitely worth the drive down to Siesta Key. The water is cool either side but waves are better on Atlantic side.
I agree with you about Cocoa. We had a great time there with our kids over Christmas. There is a restaurant on the pier with excellent seafood, and also a nice place for lunch outside but under cover.

A nice beach with great waves. I'm sorry, I just don't like cars & their pollution on beaches, and the fact that you're always having to watch out for traffic. To each his own, though.
