Beach Essentials: Rent or Buy a Chair and Umbrella
** **
Rentals vs. Purchases
** When hitting the sandy shores of Cocoa Beach, you have options for securing your beach essentials: rentals or purchases. While there are several chair and umbrella rental businesses near the pier, you can also opt to buy your own. **
Rental Options
** * A1A Beach Rentals and Outdoor Center: Offers street-legal golf cart rentals and various beach gear, including: * All Day Chez Lounge Strap Chairs: $15/day * All Day Commercial Umbrellas: $20/day * Package of two chairs and an umbrella: $10/hour, $25/day * Cocoa Beach Pier: Also provides chair and umbrella rentals, but check directly for pricing and availability. **
Purchase Options
** If you plan on frequent beach visits, purchasing your own gear can be a cost-effective option. Several local retailers sell chairs, umbrellas, and other beach accessories. **
Our Recommendation
** For short-term beach stays (e.g., a day trip), renting chairs and umbrellas can be convenient and affordable. However, if you're planning on spending multiple days or regularly visiting the beach, purchasing your own gear can provide long-term savings and customizable comfort.
