Trip Date:<\/strong> December 1st thru 3rd, 2021<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While on a work trip down to Florida, I decided to bring my camera along and grab some photographs and video of the travel experience. This was the first long distance travel I have done in 2 years, on account of the global pandemic. It was fun to fly across the United States and spend some time visiting a picturesque Florida beach in mid-winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I managed to capture some nice photos of the early morning light from the beach on multiple days. The sunrise over the ocean is not something I get to experience living on the west coast of the States. It was great to walk on the sandy beaches as the sun rose through the clouds on the horizon way out at sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The white sands of cocoa beach were great to walk on in the early morning. I stayed at the Hilton Cocoa Beach Oceanview hotel, located directly on the beach. The hotel’s Longboards Tiki Beach Grille and Bar is situated on a large outdoor deck right beside the hotel, providing for a great beach atmosphere while getting a drink, a bite to eat, and afterwards a convenient stroll out on the beach. A short boardwalk connects the hotel deck directly to the Cocoa Beach sands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
