The Perfect Girls' Trip Itinerary for the Space Coast
Sometimes you just need a weekend away with your friends. Florida’s Space Coast. Stretching from Port Canaveral down through Cocoa Beach, it’s the perfect destination for a girls' trip. It’s less chaotic than Miami, more affordable than the Keys, and packed with quiet beaches and great food.
If you’re the one tasked with planning the itinerary, here is a blueprint for a perfect, low-stress weekend.
Morning: Coffee and a Quiet Beach
Skip the main drags of Cocoa Beach and head a little further north to the quieter stretches of sand. Grab coffee and breakfast from Good Neighbor Cafe in Cape Canaveral, set up your chairs early, and enjoy the morning before the midday heat sets in.
Lunch: Tacos Near the Port
Cocoa Beach is home to some incredible, unassuming taco spots. After a morning in the sun, head toward the port for fresh fish tacos and a cold drink. It’s casual, easy, and exactly what you want after a beach morning.
Afternoon: Make Something Beautiful Together
For the afternoon, get out of the sun and do something completely different. At The Jeweler’s Workshop in Cape Canaveral, we offer 90-minute silversmithing classes where your group can learn to make their own silver jewelry.
It’s a fantastic girls' trip activity. You sit around the jeweler’s benches, catch up, and learn how to shape, texture, and polish a silver bangle or pendant. No experience is required, and everyone walks away with a piece of jewelry they made themselves.
Evening: Sunset at the Pier
Finish the day by heading back to the water. The Cocoa Beach Pier is a classic for a reason. Grab a table, order a round of drinks, and watch the surfers as the sun goes down.
