Royal Palms – The Jetty is a well-known surf spot that attracts a good number of surfers looking to catch some waves. It’s located in a popular beach area and is best enjoyed with higher tides. The place can get pretty crowded, especially when the surf is good, so be prepared to share the waves with other surfers.

If you want to maximize your experience, the best conditions are usually during mid to high tide, particularly with a northeast wind blowing.
