Also known as Cocoa Beach Pier

Beginner Beach break Sand bottom Peels both 0.4–2 m Any tide

Kelly Slater's hometown beach and the heart of East Coast surfing: gentle, consistent peaks near the pier that break best on northeast swells and offshore westerlies. Soft, forgiving waves make it a learn-to-surf capital; a hurricane swell can turn it genuinely fun for everyone.
