The Best Surf Spots on the East Coast:

30 minutes from Bluegreen at Atlantic Palace

For years, Atlantic City has laid claim to being one of the most popular vacation destinations in the world. With a population of almost 40,000 people, this New Jersey resort town, known for great casino gambling, is also lucky to be close to one of the best surfing spots just 30 minutes away. Avid surfers come to Ocean City, New Jersey, for the superior waves and a history of great surfing on the Atlantic coast. In fact, the high school in Ocean City won eight consecutive surf championships, so you know something is definitely in the air and more importantly, in the waves. As a result of its jetties, the town’s hollow rights peel on a north or southeast swell. Ocean City remains one of the most consistent surf spots in the Northeast. Surf enthusiasts love the pounding, deepwater breaks of the Atlantic coast. The premier surf spots are beaches at North Street, 8th Street, and Waverly.

20 minutes from Daytona SeaBreeze and Casa Del Mar

It should be no surprise that this town is a surf mecca. That’s because it is a great spot to hit on your Daytona Beach vacation, home of 23 shimmering miles of sensational sand. The authentic, hardcore vibe of the surfers is apparent in the amount of locals who appear to be surf gods when they expertly catch waves. The area is one of the most consistent breaks along Florida’s expansive coastline. The premier surf spot is New Smyrna Inlet, which is tops for hitting the best waves.

20 minutes from The Lodge Alley Inn

Folly Beach, near historic Charleston, offers the best South Carolina surfing in the wildly popular “Washout” area. This is the place to come for the biggest waves, and experts agree that this is one of the top surf spots up and down the East coast. Hurricane Hugo, 1989’s devastating Category Five hurricane, was responsible for creating the Washout. Smooth winds now blow to the Folly River where there was once a block of houses. The after effects caused the waves to roll very well, creating a perfect scenario for the surfing fan. Folly Beach maintains a family-friendly feeling, ideal for your vacation at Lodge Alley Inn.
