Jacksonville Beach Pier

Jacksonville Beach Pier juts into the Atlantic and collects swell on both sides. The sandbars around the pier produce forgiving peaks that are perfect for learning and longboarding, though they can pack a punch during hurricane season. It's a community gathering spot with a friendly vibe.
Early access
Walk along the beach to the north or south side of the pier; avoid paddling under the pier where lines and hooks dangle.
Parking
Paid parking lots and meters line the beachfront. Use the ParkMobile app and avoid parking in residential areas without permits.
