Coquina is a resource native to Florida's east coast, and you don't find it too much anymore. The bandshell stands 48 feet high and 114 feet wide and is one of the last remaining structures of its kind. During the Depression, it was the venue for concerts and community special occasions. These days, it hosts such diverse events as free summer concerts and the National Cheerleading Association's annual cheerleading and dance competitions. You can stroll, fish, even eat at the restaurant.
Breaks are generally good and there are no submerged reefs to worry about.
The best swells tend to be just south of Daytona at Ponce de Leon Inlet. It's called simply Ponce Inlet by the locals, who are fond of surfing both the north and south sides. As a rule, surf temps range from 75 to 82 degrees in summer and seldom dips below 58 in winter. You might need a 3-mil wetsuit, but that's about it. Well, sort of.
