Robert P. Murkshe Memorial Park — Attraction in Cocoa Beach

Dogs allowed, however, upon exiting the parking lot and approaching the little pedestrian footbridge to the beach there is a large sign that says no dogs!?!?!

If you keep walking, cross the footbridge, and turn left once you hit the sand, there is a sign (see my photos here) that says dog friendly beach!!!

But dogs are only permitted from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. and then 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. (unless it's daylight savings time, then you can take your dog until 9:00 p.m.) See my photos for the sign about dog hours.

Human Hours: Dawn to dusk. There are public restrooms off of the parking lot (steps away from the beach). The parking lot holds about 25 cars. Only 3 spaces used at sunrise...

This is a wonderful Brevard County park in Cocoa Beach. From this beach access and north to 4th St S., dogs are allowed on the beach during certain hours. The hours are from 6am to 10am and 5pm to 7pm during standard time, and until 9pm during daylight savings time. The only negative comment I have is that the shower that is there to rinse off the sand is not good - the water pressure is not good enough to wash...

We were hunting a more secluded beach at Cocoa beach. This park/ publix beach access was perfect! Because it is in a residential area rather than a hotel area there were not a lot of people, mainly polite families scattered here and there. It was exactly what we were hunting. And there was a spot to wash the sand off of your feet and a public bathroom that was cleaner than most public...
