Westgate Cocoa Beach Pier is a historic oceanfront landmark on Florida's Space Coast, stretching 800 feet over the Atlantic Ocean from its address at 401 Meade Avenue in Cocoa Beach. Originally built in 1962, the pier has become one of the area's most recognized destinations — and the only licensed pier and ocean overlook wedding venue in the region. The pier offers 3,500 square feet of flexible indoor meeting and event space with sweeping 180-degree views of the Atlantic. The Atlantic Ballroom is the signature venue, accommodating up to 100 guests banquet-style or 180 for a reception. Smaller breakout rooms — Atlantic A, Atlantic B, and The Ocean Room — provide options for more intimate gatherings, while the pier's bars and restaurants, including Rikki Tiki Tavern, Pelican's Bar & Grill, and Keith's Oyster Bar, can be reserved for private dining events. An experienced special events team handles the planning end-to-end, with in-house culinary professionals available for custom catering. Wedding ceremonies can take place on the beach, at the end of the pier, or anywhere in between — all against a backdrop of open ocean.

Historic Dodgertown — now operated by Major League Baseball as the Jackie Robinson Training Complex — sits on 80 acres in Vero Beach, Florida, at the site Branch Rickey established in 1948 as the first fully integrated spring training facility in the South.
