2 spots
16th St South is an Atlantic sandbar surf zone at Cocoa Beach in Space Coast. The representative coordinate marks nearshore water, not a fixed takeoff; sandbars, currents, and access conditions can change.
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.
