The self-proclaimed "Surf Capital of the East Coast," Cocoa Beach Pier is the most iconic surf spot in Brevard County. The pier provides the only wind shelter between Sebastian Inlet and Jetty Park, making it a magnet when onshore winds blow out open beach breaks. Waves are typically long, crumbly lines best suited for longboarding — getting barreled here is rare. Rich surf history dating to the 1960s space race era.
