Your real-time guide to Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral and Port Canaveral, Florida.
Cocoa Beach and Cape Canaveral have live music nearly every Friday and Saturday night at outdoor beach bars with no cover charge. Cover bands, acoustic sets, reggae, rock and country all play the A1A strip. The outdoor stages face the ocean and the sound carries down the beach. You can hear music from multiple venues without committing to any one of them.
The Tiki Lantern Bar has live music Friday and Saturday nights on an outdoor oceanfront stage. The Launch Pad Lounge books brass and funk bands on their rooftop. Breakers Beach Bar brings in DJs and acoustic acts throughout the week. All three have happy hour specials that overlap with the music.
Most live music venues on A1A charge no cover. The business model is built on drink sales, not door fees. This is different from most music cities — in Cocoa Beach you walk in, sit down, get a beer, and hear live music without paying an entrance fee. Tip your bartender and the ecosystem sustains itself.
