Lola’s on the Beach - Steps to Beach, Cruises & Rocket Launches

Welcome to Lola’s on the Beach – Cape Canaveral, Florida

Welcome to Lola’s on the Beach, your spacious coastal getaway on Florida’s beautiful Space Coast! Whether you’re planning a family beach vacation, a group getaway, a pre- or post-cruise stay, or simply want to experience the excitement of rocket launches and the laid-back Cocoa Beach lifestyle, Lola’s puts you right where you want to be.

Located in Cape Canaveral, Lola’s offers the perfect combination of a peaceful beach-town setting and easy access to some of Central Florida’s most popular attractions. You’re just minutes from Port Canaveral, a short drive from Cocoa Beach, and surrounded by restaurants, waterfront bars, shops, entertainment, and outdoor adventures.

Best of all, you’re close enough to experience the excitement of the Space Coast while still having your own comfortable place to relax when the day is done.

THE BEACH IS YOUR BACKYARD

One of the best parts about Lola’s is the location. The beach is just a short stroll away, making it easy to start your morning with your toes in the sand, spend the afternoon playing in the waves, and come home without having to pack up the entire family for a beach trip.

Enjoy the salty ocean breeze from the home’s two private balconies, relax in the spacious outdoor areas, or head down to the beach for sunrise, sunset, swimming, shell hunting, or simply listening to the waves.

And because you’re on the Space Coast, you may get an unforgettable bonus during your stay:

Rocket launches.

Cape Canaveral is one of the best places in Florida to experience a launch, and depending on the launch trajectory and conditions, you may be able to watch rockets light up the sky right from the beach.

There’s something pretty special about sitting on the beach watching a rocket launch while cruise ships pass through the horizon.

Taking a cruise from Port Canaveral?

It also makes a great place to return to after your cruise if you want to extend your vacation with a few relaxing beach days.
