The Cocoa Beach Fliers were a professional minor league baseball team based in Fort Pierce, Florida from 1941 until 1942. The clubs played in the Class-D Florida East Coast League. Also referred to as the Cocoa Fliers in several record books, the team and the league both shut their doors, along with many other minor leagues, a few months after the United States entered World War II, and, despite the postwar baseball boom, they were not revived.
