2012 Map of Cocoa Beach

About this map

South Cocoa Beach and the thin barrier island of the Space Coast are documented here in the early 2010s, showing a densely developed residential corridor sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the complex wetlands of the Banana River. The western shoreline is defined by a maze of natural and man-made waterways, including Houseboat Cut, Jones Creek, and the intricate archipelago of the Thousand Islands. Residential naming conventions reflect a mid-century tropical aesthetic with streets like Bimini Rd, Bahama Blvd, and Antigua Dr extending toward the river. Off the coast, the Walter L Hudson, Junior Artificial Reef indicates modern marine conservation efforts. This map reveals the high degree of coastal engineering required to support habitation in this low-lying environment, from the Minutemen Cswy to the various canal-front properties near Shortys Pocket and Shortys Banks.
