The spot
The things that stay true when the weather changes.
Surfers stay out of the 300 feet either side of the pier all year. From the Saturday before Memorial Day to Labor Day, 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., surfing near the pier is confined to the marked zones.
Cars drive and park on the sand in two signed zones, University Boulevard to Seabreeze Boulevard and International Speedway Boulevard to Silver Beach Avenue, at 10 mph. Poles by the dunes mark the conservation zones that cars must stay out of. Breakers Oceanfront Park beside the pier has a city-run off-beach lot with its own fee.
