Cocoa Beach is a surf town on a narrow barrier island, with homes and condos taking salt spray and Atlantic wind all year. Full cassette awnings and wind sensors are the standard here.
1800Awnings builds and ships retractable awnings to Cocoa Beach from our Tampa facility. We carry the full Eastern Awning Systems line (Sunflexx® and SunScape®) and our own Shademaker™ series (Helios™, Apollo™, Zeus™ and Hercules™), in manual, motorized, semi-cassette and full-cassette versions.

Wind, weather and permits in Cocoa Beach
Design wind speeds in Brevard County are far beyond what any fabric awning can handle extended. No retractable awning is a hurricane product. Steady onshore breeze and salt air are daily facts of life on the Atlantic side, so stainless hardware, a hood or cassette, and a wind sensor are the right setup. Wind speeds are approximate. Your building department can confirm the values for your address.
Permit requirements vary by jurisdiction. Check with your city or the Brevard County building department before installing, and plan on HOA or architectural review in most communities. Motorized awnings may also need an electrical permit. We supply specs, colors and product documentation for your applications.

Cocoa Beach retractable awning FAQ
Which awning holds up best near the ocean in Cocoa Beach?
A full cassette like the Shademaker Apollo™, which seals fabric, arms and roller inside an aluminum box when closed, or the Eastern Sunflexx® with stainless hardware and a protective hood.
Can a retractable awning stay out in a storm?
No. Retract before any storm, and add a Somfy® wind sensor so it retracts automatically when the breeze turns into gusts.
How much does a retractable awning cost in Cocoa Beach?
At 1800Awnings, retractable awnings start at about $3,064 (Eastern SunScape®), $3,473 (Eastern Sunflexx®), $4,322 (Shademaker Zeus™), $4,655 (Shademaker Helios™), $5,639 (Shademaker Apollo™) and $9,477 (Shademaker Hercules™), with free shipping to Cocoa Beach.
