I think that everyone that has heard of Cocoa Beach, Florida has heard of Ron Jon Surf Shop. I marvel at ginormous (that would be giant and enormous all in one) it has become.

Ron Jon Surf Shop in Cocoa Beach Florida

Ron Jon has become the Worlds 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 at the beach.

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 often boasts 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 must include a visit to Ron Jon Surf Shop.

I remember a small Ron Jon shop on Galveston Island when I was growing up. Had a bunch of Ron Jon T-shirts.

Reminds me of the time I used to spend in Ft Walton Beach. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the surf shop there.

I've been there! It was about 6 years ago. I don't remember it being as big as it looks in the picture but maybe it was.

The first time I was in Cocoa Beach I was told this is the biggest tourist attraction in town. I don't surf but I went for the shirt...

Sandy - That is one impressive sized surf shop! I've never been surfing, and I've never been in a surf shop! But if I ever get to Cocoa Beach, I'll make a point of visiting there! With a shop that size, I am certain they have some serious swim gear. . .I am a swimmer!

Hi Tim and Pam, Really? Was it part of the same Ron Jon's here?

Russ, It is a very neat place if you've never been there before.

John, Back in the good ole days, huh? Memory slipping a bit now? LOL

Justin, Ron Jon just continues to expand over the years. It probably wasn't that big 6 years ago.

Hi TO, It is quite the building, isn't it?

Hey Miss Mary, The Ron Jon brand is absolutely amazing. I think everyone has something with Ron Jon on it.

Paul, Good for you, for getting a Ron Jon shirt. You know they rent surfboards too, don't you?

Kevin, I have heard that people all over the world have heard of Ron Jon Surf Shop.

Caren, You come down anytime, and look me up. I'd love to show you around. We'll go to the beach.

Lou, It's a great place to visit.

Myrl, What do you mean, you've never been surfing? Come on now, where's your sense of adventure?

Hi Ann, I remember Ron Jon was a very small little place. It has turned into a metropolis.

Sandy - It sure has come a long way and I'm not sure it's for the better. I liked Ron Jon's better in the 90's. I still have this huge Ron Jon insulated mug I use for parties and the beach. Only soda water, of course :-)
