We had an amazing experience with Ron Jon Surf School! We just moved to the area and thought, "when…read morein Rome..."--so we signed our two teens up for lessons, and it was the best decision. Their instructor, Christian, was absolutely fantastic. He was patient, encouraging, and really knew how to connect with them. They both started as complete beginners, and by the end of the lesson they had not only gotten up on the board but also left with real confidence and a solid understanding of the basics. Most importantly--they had a blast. They're already talking about getting back out there and taking the next steps! Highly recommend for anyone with kids (or adults!) wanting to learn to surf in a fun, supportive environment.

At first I thought we wouldn't follow the map However it really gives you a super nice, easy ride. We biked to Jetty park and stopped at a few places along the way. The second day we rented kayaks and joined a guided tour with Randy. I can't say enough good things about how lovely our experience was. Any stress just melted away! We saw some dolphins too! I highly recommend A1A Outdoors for your adventuring. They are so friendly and welcoming and took the time to help us out in a caring and thoughtful way! 10/10 recommend When we stopped by the shop parking was super easy!

TO THE BEACH! He was wonderful, accommodating, supportive, and kind. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in learning--family, or by yourself. He ensured it was a safe, exciting, and fun time for all. John's customer service was second to none. I emailed, and he called me almost immediately. He was always quick to follow-up, reach out, and took time with every question and consideration we had. Very competitively priced and well worth every cent. As a bonus, his buddy Bryan Simmons took photos to capture our memories. He did a great job and similarly offered wonderful customer service and flexibility. Would definitely use Bryan again, too!

Largest surf shop in the world at 52,000 square feet of cool, rad, and gnarly, awesome things (shirts, jewelry, swim wear, accessories, beauty products, home decor, surf boards, rash guards, sunglasses, etc). If you can walk out without buying a shirt, keychain or sticker, I would either be impressed, or think something was wrong with you. Free parking (time limit) in the back of the shop. Long arse lines at all the registers, but that's a testament to how popular this place is. My husband who is an (ex-)surfer, totally loved this shop. He said visiting this store was one of the highlights of the trip.

I've wanted to make it to some of the other Ron Jon shops since then but haven't been near one. I don't know the best way to describe it. It's like a superstore for beachwear, keychains, hats, sunglasses, shirts, surfboards, art, trinkets, shoes, and a bunch of other random things. It's so much fun to walk around this place and see what you can find. I still have a souvenir magnet from my first visit. This time I found a shirt I had to have! Anytime I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in here. If you're in the Cocoa Beach area, this is definitely a must-visit!

It was lively the last time I was there and it seemed empty and not as full of merchandise as I remember. It is good to stop in to look to see if something catches your eye. Also, they do not do Apple Pay which is different than other merchants in the area. Overall, just an okay store.

Worst Experience EVER! My husband and I decided to go on a last minute beach trip away from Miami…read moreand this is where we ended up going. We both found swimsuits and were headed to check out. I asked the man at the counter if they had somewhere to change and also asked about the return or exchange policy because my swimsuit was one size, he said we could change in the fitting room and i could try on the swimsuit before buying to make sure . So I paid for my husband's shorts then he changed into them and I changed into my swimsuit to make sure it fit and brought the tag to the register to pay. After I paid, this lady comes running at me asking me where my receipt is and saying I didn't pay. I told her I already paid for the items and she could ask the man at the register. Then my husband comes out of the dressing room and she's screaming that we didn't pay for those and trying to snatch the receipts which I had on top of my wallet out of my hands. I told her to not touch me and to ask the man at the register because I dropped one of my receipts while she was attacking me. She grabbed my arm and tried to yank me back to take my receipts out of my hand and after she finally asked the man at the register if we paid and he said yes, she ran into the back office. I called the police and couldn't do anything because I live in Miami and will not come all the way back for that. Horrible staff, too expensive. My husband was racially profiled because he's Hispanic and has face tattoos.

We raced over from Tampa to get here by dawn and found plenty of parking (you can pay by card, coin or Park Mobile app). It's just a short walk by boardwalk/ramp to the sand and there it is: sea, sun and surf... right at your feet. It's really Florida gorgeous... and so easy to access. It's also right behind Ron Jon's Surf Shop and a great place to watch rocket launches from nearby Cape Canaveral. I'll definitely go back, again and again!

We stopped in for some sunscreen and a few beach/pool toys before getting on a cruise and were able to find everything we could need/want. They have a great selection of nearly everything you could think of and, if you have lids, plan to keep an eye on your wallet because I can nearly guarantee they'll find something they will want! Heck, even I found myself trying to justify a puka shell necklace for me haha. (Note to self, you're not 14...) The staff here is very friendly and happy to help with anything you need. They make it a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Look no further than this beach shop for those vacation needs. In fact, I'd highly encourage you to hit up this place before the likes of a CVS or Walgreens (for beach stuff, sunscreen, etc.)
