Join us on the beach in 2026! Cocoa Beach’s Most Festive Holiday Tradition

Surfing Santas Cocoa Beach is one of Florida’s most unique and beloved Christmas Eve traditions, , bringing together hundreds of surfers of all ages and thousands of spectators for an unforgettable Christmas celebration on the beach.

Each year, the shoreline comes alive with a colorful crowd of Santas, elves, snowmen, reindeer and just about every holiday character imaginable. From creative homemade costumes to full-blown Christmas creations, no two Surfing Santas are quite the same. The costumes are as diverse, fun and spirited as the people wearing them.

Then the real magic begins.

Watch as hundreds of costumed surfers paddle into the Atlantic and ride the waves dressed in their holiday best, creating a scene you simply won’t find anywhere else. Whether you surf, dress up, bring the family or just come to watch the spectacle from the beach, Surfing Santas is a celebration everyone can enjoy.

Surfing Santas 2026 brings together surfing, music, live entertainment, holiday fun and the unmistakable energy of Cocoa Beach—all at one incredible beachside event. There is entertainment happening both on stage and in the ocean, giving spectators plenty to see and experience throughout the morning.

Best of all, Surfing Santas is a free, family-friendly community event that helps support charitable causes, turning a morning of Christmas fun into something that also gives back to people in need.

Bring your family, your friends, your Christmas spirit—and maybe your Santa suit—and experience a holiday tradition that could only happen in Cocoa Beach.

Come for the Santas. Stay for the surfing. Celebrate Christmas Cocoa Beach style at Surfing Santas 2026!
