Beaches Near Disney World Are Mostly Atlantic Coast Beaches

Actually the Atlantic Ocean also includes the Gulf Coast beaches as the Gulf Stream is fueled by the Atlantic Ocean. However the closest beaches near Walt Disney World are on the Space Coast. The Space Coast is named that because of the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral National Seashore. We just call them east coast beaches and yes they are closer than the closest Gulf Coast beach.

Not only is Cocoa Beach a beautiful beach and the closest beach to Disney World but it is a comfortable day trip just over an hour away.

If you are curious this is a barrier island and the intercoastal is named Indian River Lagoon. The Cocoa beach distance, well worth the drive.

Some options and the closest beaches to Cocoa Beach are Vero Beach to the south and the Vero Beach Museum. Disney's Vero Beach Resort is often forgot about. However it can still be part of a Disney World Vacation and the white sandy beaches sure beat any of the normal amenities Disney Hotels normally offer.

Daytona Beach & Nearby Beaches

Keeping with the theme, Daytona Lagoon Waterpark is very much still a thing. Not many Florida beaches have a pier and far fewer have their own waterpark. Lest we forget the Daytona International Speedway. There is so much here that the white sand beach can get overshadowed. However, for a day trip and a unique one Daytona Beach is very much a thing to do and just over an hour away.

Another Atlantic Coast beach just south would be New Smyrna Beach. A little further south is Apollo Beach which is also a name used by one of the gulf beaches. If seclusion is what you are after these last two are great options and have white sandy beaches.

To the north of Daytona Beach is Ormond Beach and many other before reaching St Augustine Beach. Actually it is fun just to drive along the coast on a motorcycle or in a convertible. All that is lacking north of Daytona Beach is a Disney Resort, nah.
