Hi ,
We're planning a trip to Disney World and want to add a beach day to our itinerary. Can anyone recommend the closest beach to Disney World?
We’re looking for somewhere nice and not too far of a drive.
Thanks!
 
Cocoa Beach is probably your best option. It’s about an hour’s drive east from Disney World. Great for a quick beach getaway!
 
Yeah, Cocoa Beach is the closest, but what is your goal, just toes in the sand?

I tend to think that the West coast (Gulf side) of Florida has some of the best beaches. Dunedin, or St. Petersburg, has some great beaches. Yes, you have to deal with traffic getting there if you take the I4 so plan accordingly, but I enjoy that side of Florida.

You could also go to Cape Canaveral when you visit Cocoa Beach, if you're into the space stuff. Enjoy your trip!
 
+1 on the Tampa/Gulf Coast side of Florida. I would love to explore the areas around Ocala, etc. I'd love to get to Destin, Florida, to explore the true clear beaches.

If you're limited on time, I think Cocoa will be your best option.
