The Bollinger family from Orlando come to the pier every New YearÕs Day to start their new year. The beach near the Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier has become a destination for people to watch the first sunrise of the new year. Young and old, people sit on the beach, stand near the water or walk along the shore taking photos, selfies, or just sit quietly and watch the new year begin on January 1, 2024.
