I'm a beginner at surfing. Like a total newbie haha.
Today, i practiced at Jetty Park, by the Cape Canaveral in Cocoa Beach.
Im wondering if there are any other good places for beginner surfers on the east coast of florida?
Answer
The Jetty is good. Try the Pier in Cocoa Beach which is a couple miles south of there. This is the best for a beginner. It is fairly shallow and a sandy bottom. Just sit further from the crowds and it'll be all good.
Other breaks you could look at are:
Most of the Streets in Cocoa Beach.
The beaches along Patrick AFB. 2nd light and picnic tables.
Further south is the Boardwalk, the one with Bizarros pizza.
If you keep going south you'll end up at the Sebastian Inlet.
Most of these are sand bottoms from what I remember. Good luck and don't piss off us locals! lol

Are there any calm beaches near the north shore in the winter months?

Staying at Turtle Bay... I know the waves there will be big, wondering the closest beach thats good for swimming, with low waves. I will have a car so can drive a bit. Any suggestions?
Answer
Malaekahana State Park is sheltered by an outer reef so it is usually very calm. It has a beautiful beach (see the URL below) which has very few people. I was just there several days ago and it was great. Goat Island is about 200 feet offshore and has two small secluded beaches. The water is shallow enough to wade out to.

When you drive in to the parking area go all the way to the end then walk out of the end of the parking lot. There is a bathroom and a lot of picnic tables. Just beyond those is a long beach.
You can do a Google Images search for "Malaekahana" and get many more pictures.
Shark's Cove has a very sheltered area for snorkeling but the water is only about three feet deep. The open area of the cove gets large waves in the winter and can be dangerous.
Check with the concierge at Turtle Bay for more up-to-date information.

To show you how variable the surf is in the winter, this morning the surf is down. Sunset Beach is 2 - 3 feet. Pipeline is 1 - 3 feet. The Volcom Pipeline Pro surf meet was cancelled. This means you can basically swim anyplace. Again, check with the concierge at the hotel for the latest conditions.
Also, when you get to the beach, look for the lifeguard towers. Ask what the conditions are and if there are any problems. Sometimes there can be currents that are not obvious.
