A Landmark with a Storied Past
Built in 1962 by local businessman Richard Stottler, the Cocoa Beach Pier—originally known as Canaveral Pier—has been a centerpiece of Florida’s Space Coast for over six decades. Stretching 800 feet over the Atlantic Ocean, the Pier offered a front-row seat to historic rocket launches and became a hub for surfing culture. Over the years, it has welcomed legendary musicians, evolved into a premier dining and entertainment destination, and today draws more than one million visitors annually. In 2014, Westgate Resorts and Jim Gissy acquired the Pier, continuing its tradition as a world-class attraction for locals and tourists alike. Cocoa Beach Pier completed a multimillion dollar renovation in 2023 and features unique restaurants, retail experiences and bars for guests to enjoy world-class refreshments with breathtaking ocean views.
