Surfing Getaway Itinerary

22 miles of beaches. Yep. That’s all we have to say to get you to pack your bags and head to our city to explore the endless miles of coastline and barrier islands that make Jacksonville the most fun and active watersports destinations in Florida.

Surfing Getaway:

Whether you are a grom just getting your board wet, or a pro looking to master your moves, Jacksonville’s beaches offer prime surf all year long. The winter months bring the biggest surf, and summers are ideal for beginners to test out their skills. Jacksonville’s beach break with its soft, sandy bottom, allows for tough tumbles to be taken without risk of bumping into a reef. So, bring the boards and the flops, we’ll bring the good vibes!

What to Do:

To ride the best waves in the city head to Hanna Park in Atlantic Beach. This city park offers the most consistent break in all out coast.

Other great spots are Huguenot Park and the Pier in Jacksonville Beach.
