Cocoa Beach offers hard-packed and flat beaches ideal for running.  This photo was taken on May 10, 2015 during the USA Beach Running Championships and is the same stretch of beach to be used for 2.9 miles of the Cocoa Beach Half Marathon. Other than this 2.9 mile stretch of hard-packed beach, the remainder of the course is on State Road A1A or Cocoa Beach side streets.
