If you haven’t tried surfing yet, there are many compelling reasons why you should. When you finally try it, you might even catch the surfing bug and continue to progress in the sport. Check out some of our favorite spots in Florida to try surfing.
Cocoa Beach
Cocoa beach is lovingly referred to as the “surf capital of the East Coast” by locals and visitors alike, referring to the year-round warm temperatures, a range of wave difficulties, and the classic surf-town vibe surrounding the beaches. Cocoa beach is also home to Kelly Slater, one of the greatest surfers of all time… if that doesn’t show just how great the surf is, nothing will! There are private surf lessons offered at Cocoa Beach, which is a great way to get up on the waves. Additionally, Cocoa Beach Surf Company offers group lessons and semi-private group lessons. If you are just looking for a daytime surfboard rental, then look no further than Pure Aloha Surf School in Cocoa Beach.
Daytona Beach
Daytona Beach is a great surf spot in Florida because of its very consistent waves and very soft, sandy ocean bottom, which makes falling off the board a lot less daunting! If you are looking for surf lessons, surf camps, and even group surfing for corporate events, then Pure Life Surf School of Daytona Beach is the place to look. For another surf lesson option in Daytona Beach, check out Daytona Beach Surf School, which was the first surf school in Daytona Beach and is “still the best,” with surf camps and lessons with CPR-certified instructors.
