Lots of derelict boats. Sail and motor. As one reviewer said of the Cocoa Beach anchorage, lock your boat when you leave it to go into town.

One of the spans (the north west span - southbound traffic lane) has a broken motor. So, until repairs are completed you'll have to tuck/cheat towards the south side. At half width, that makes the channel about 45 ft wide. When I spoke with the bridge tender today, he implied repair work won't be happening until around FEB 2022.
