Put on your cowboy boots and line dance under the stars on the outdoor dance hall at the River Ranch Saloon.

With enough surf, sun and sand to spare, a trip to the world-famous Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier is the perfect place to be this season. The Pier is the ultimate one-stop destination for an exciting day at the beach. Explore everything the Pier has to offer including premier shopping, pier fishing, sand volleyball, surf lessons, freshwater showers and more.

Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier

Fresh seafood and ocean view dining await you at the Pier with four full-service restaurants and bars.

Enjoy the best seafood at Pelican’s Bar & Grill or dine 800 feet over the Atlantic Ocean at Rikki Tiki Tavern. With one of our specialty cocktails in hand and ocean waves crashing along the shore, a good time is guaranteed. Before you leave, don’t forget souvenir shopping at The Pier Shop and Tropical Threads Boutique to find one-of-akind gifts, beach-themed home decor and apparel.

Conveniently located near the Pier is Westgate Cocoa Beach Resort, a tropical beachfront resort with spacious villas and easy access to white, sandy beaches and area attractions.
