26th to 30th St. Pier:
This area offers fun rights and lefts and picks up a variety of swells. On a big northeast swell, powerful lefts roll down from the north end of the beach. The 30th Street Pier also offers all-day surfing on the north side in the summer. It’s the Avalon scene, and the place to be seen. Beach tags required. Also available: free parking, bathrooms with rolls of crisp, white toilet paper and a place to wash your feet.
