COCOA BEACH, Fla. — Leaders in Cocoa Beach are implementing safety improvements to the city’s shores following the deaths of three individuals due to rip currents within a few weeks.
Two people died last month while attempting to rescue a child, who survived. A 17-year-old also drowned this past Saturday at Lori Wilson Park.
The city of Cocoa Beach has established an agreement with the Rotary Club to install additional life-saving equipment along the beach.
Further details regarding the city’s safety improvements and their implementation are expected to be released in the coming weeks.
