If you are from the east coast, you may find the Gulf beaches to be a bit of a disappointment from the wave standpoint, although the sand itself is gorgeous. Also, on the east coast, some places allow parking/driving on the beach. That means that a lot of the beach is taken up by cars either parked or driving, leaving not very much room for sunbathing if you want a clear ocean view. Cocoa and Flagler/Ormand do not allow driving or parking on the beach, and there are real waves. Not as big as northern beaches, but bigger than the Gulf. My opinion, from having grown up spending vacations on ocean beaches from Jersey to South Carolina and all states in between.
