Mayport Poles is Jacksonville's signature surf spot, named for the row of old wooden pilings stretching through the lineup. It holds a bigger surge than neighboring breaks, producing thick, powerful barrels that can rival anything on the East Coast when conditions align. Best at low tide on a solid NE swell, inside Hanna Park (entrance fee required).
