<p>ok so I live 3 seconds from the beach, I'm going to miss it so much when I get to FSU. I looked it up, and the gulf is about an hour away while the east coast is about 3 hours. I surf whenever possible (though im not good or anything) and was wondering, are there ever waves in the gulf? Just during huricanes? Do people at FSU take trip to the beach? Does anyone bring their surfboard? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.</p>
<p>As to the best beach, probably St. George Island. We used to travel there from FSU. I don't remember people surfing there, but they certainly could.</p>
