It's Spring Break here in Brevard County Florida. Time to hit the beaches for some sun and fun. No trip to Brevard County Beaches would be complete without a trip to world famous Ron Jon Surf Shop. I think that anyone that has heard of Cocoa Beach, Florida has heard of Ron Jons.
I marvel at how gigantic the store has become.
Ron Jon has become the World's Most Famous Surf shop. The multi level store, which is open 24 hours a day, is over 52,000 square feet. And sells beach wear, surfboards, bikinis, and anything else you can think of that you might need for a day in the sun. This location includes a resort called the Ron Jon Cape Caribe Resort.
Ron Jons has stores throughout the world including Canada and Mexico. It's Florida locations can be found in Sunrise, Key West and Panama City Beach Florida. They have one in Myrtle Beach South Carolina. They also operate stores in various airports including Orlando International, Miami International and Tampa International. Ron Jon is also located in Cozumel, Mexico.
Ron Jon is a tourist attraction in and of itself. It has become so popular that over 2 million people from around the world visit it each year. Now that's pretty amazing!
Ron Jon has community events with bands, music and often big name surfers.
Ron Jon is located at the corner of Highway A1A and State Road 520. It's hard to miss.
A visit to Cocoa Beach isn't complete without a trip to Ron Jons.

I had not heard of this store until your blog Sandy. They must be doing something right to be open 24 hours a day and have over two million visitors per year! Perhaps they should sell their T-shirts very cheap so all the snowbirds will spread the word for free upon their return north.
Bruce, Really, you haven't heard of Ron Jons? Well, now you'll probably hear of it all the time (funny how that works). I remember when they were just a little surf shop. Now they have grown into a metropolis. I love your idea of selling their T shirts cheap - so people can spread the word on their way home. Great marketing gimmick.
Sandy, I know what you are saying about how I will now stumble across their name several times in the next month! ^_~ Who knows, perhaps I will SEE a T-shirt of theirs soon! I am sure they have thought about doing that long before I did!!! ^_~
Have a great week!
Sandy
Ron Jons is a must when your in the in the Melbourne area.
Good luck and success.

Bruce, I think that you might see a long line of snowbirds heading North in a caravan, all wearing free Ron Jon's t shirts sometime this week. Wouldn't they look great if they were all wearing a pair of your gym shorts, with their shirts, that you got years ago? LOL
Lou, I agree that no trip to our area is complete without a visit to Ron Jons Surf Shop. It's a tourist attraction in itself.
Have not been there since 19??, it was like a two bay garage back then. Well, East coast girls were "hip", I really dug those styles they wore!
^_~
I can tell you Cocoa Beach is experiencing some well needed Spring Break stimulus relief right now. :)
Sandy, as a young girl I learned to surf in Doheny California! Ron Jons was around then, all the surfer dudes had to have their baggy shorts, I think they called them Jammers!
Hang Ten, Dudes!
Ah, yes Ron Jons. One of the must sees on any ones drive down for spring break. Great store.
Hi Kevin, I know, I remember when Ron Jons was just a small store. It is amazing how it's grown over the years. "...And the Southern girls with the way they talk. They knock me out when I'm down there ..." Great old beach boys tune!
Bruce, ;)
Paul, Our area loves when the spring breakers come to town, no doubt!
Caren, You go girl! Do you still know how to surf? I remember all the surf contests and hanging out at the beach we did when we were kids. It was a great time! Cawabonga dude!
Gabe, I agree, Ron Jons is a must see for anyone visiting Cocoa Beacn.
Ron Jons is a Florida icon no doubt. I was on a cruise a few years ago and stopped in Cozumel Mexico and low and behold there was a Ron Jons.
