Hightower Beach sits between the more famous Perkins and RC's breaks in the Satellite Beach corridor, where a broken coquina rock shelf offshore creates defined reef-influenced peaks. Depending on sand accumulation, it can produce long, fast, occasionally hollow lefts on N/NE groundswells and holds double-overhead-plus surf. A mellower, more under-the-radar alternative to its neighbors.
