1. Siesta Key – Saratosa Florida: This spot is best for skimboarding during the cooler seasons. If you are looking to catch big waves, the best time to go to this place is when a storm is coming from the coast. Certain parts of this area can be crowded depending on where you decide to go.

2. North Fort Lauderdale: The commercial pier at “anglans” there is a good flat beach and it is easy to get into the water (even for beginners). The swell on this beach can reach 3 feet and other skimboarders have made a break here, so at low tide it reaches 6 feet high. This beach tends to get crowded, so keep that in mind when you’re out looking for a spot.

3. St Augustine, Vilano Beach – This skimboarding hot spot is only a few minutes away from the oldest known city in America, this place is famous among skimboarders in Florida. This beach has the typical Florida break combined with a very generous slope. The waves at this beach break right on the shore and are a decent size for most of the year. The biggest waves tend to be in the 4 foot range. There is a jetty at the southern end of the beach near Vilano Inlet and the waves break best in this area. Try to stay away from the fishermen in this area. The best time to skimboard this beach is definitely high tide.
