Santa Cruz, California
Having been dubbed as the ‘Surf City’, Santa Cruz is not only one of the best surfing locations in the state of California, but also among all the beaches in the country. There are a few noteworthy beaches in Santa Cruz for surfers – such as Pleasure Point and Capitola Beach which are both perfect for beginners who want to experience calmer waves. Cowell Beach is also a great place to consider for more advanced surfers who want to practise wave catching.
Experienced surfers can also enjoy their time in Santa Cruz by visiting Steamer Lane. With consistently strong and challenging waves as well as chilly weather, Steamer Lane is suitable for advanced level surfers and should not be underestimated in its difficulty level. Due to the cold, it is also important for surfers to wear an insulating and fitted wetsuit.
Cocoa Beach, Florida
Famous for being home to one of America’s best surfers – Kelly Slater – Cocoa Beach is a must-include when it comes to the country’s prime surfing locations. This beach is well known for its calmer waves – hence being suitable for beginner surfers who are just starting out in the sport.

The beach is great for travellers wishing to experience a diverse set of water sports (not only surfing) while also interacting with the friendly local community. The beachside is lined with great cafes, restaurants and bars, making it a great place for travellers to visit and explore in general!
