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” has a good flat beach and it’s easy to get into the water (even for beginners). The swell at 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 just a few minutes from the oldest known city in America, this spot 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 shore and are decent sized 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 Cove and the waves break better in this area. Try to stay away from fishermen in this area. The best time to skimboard on this beach is definitely high tide.
