Jacksonville Beach Pier is the most popular and iconic surf spot in the Jax area, serving as the region's designated high-tide break (complementing the low-tide Poles). Various peaks off the pier spread the crowd, producing both lefts and rights. The south side favors longer lefts during N/NE swells. Easily accessible with nearby parking, restaurants, and shops.
