1. I Dream of Jeannie sitcom was based here.
The 1965-1970 sitcom, I Dream of Jeannie was set in Cocoa Beach. The premise of the sitcom is that an astronaut finds a genie in a bottle and takes her home with him. The astronaut works at Kennedy Space Center and lives with the genie at 1020 Palm Drive in Cocoa Beach.
But don’t go looking for the address. There is no Palm Drive in Cocoa Beach. The house used in the TV show was actually in California. However, the locals have paid homage to I Dream of Jeannie by erecting a street sign called I Dream of Jeannie Ln and a commemorative sign at Lori Wilson Park off of A1A in Cocoa Beach.
