The Cocoa Beach Pier is Florida's most famous surf landmark and home to legends like Kelly Slater. The pier breaks on almost every type of swell, with chest‑ to head‑high north swells producing the best waves. It's a mellow wave well suited to beginners and longboarders but can offer punchier sections when hurricane swells wrap in.
Walk down the pier or along the beach to your preferred takeoff zone. Surfers must stay clear of the fishing area on the pier.
Parking at the pier costs around $10; pay at the kiosk. Additional metered parking can be found along Meade Avenue.
