The Florida Surf Museum: Preserving the Legacy of Surfing

It is not surprising that the "Surf Capital of the East Coast" would have its own museum dedicated to the sport. That's precisely what you'll find at the Florida Surf Museum. The museum's mission is to preserve the culture of Florida surfing, which it accomplishes through various exhibits, programs, and events.

Historical Overview

Founded in 1999, the museum initially occupied a space so small you could hardly turn a longboard around. Now, it is housed in the Ron Jon Surf Shop Watersports Rental building. Recent visitors suggest that the Florida Surf Museum is worth a visit while you're at Ron Jon Surf Shop since it's conveniently located nearby. Many people appreciate the shared history and find that it brings back cherished memories.

Location and Accessibility

The Florida Surf Museum is located within the Ron Jon Surf Shop Watersports Rental building, right next to Ron Jon Surf Shop on North Atlantic Avenue. The closest Cocoa Beach Loop trolley/bus stop is the Shepard Park @ Pizza Hut stop, and the museum is just a short walk from there. Free customer parking is available in two nearby lots, and metered street parking is also an option.
