Geocache Description:

Take a walk on the World's Most Famous Beach. This cache is number 54 in the series and as with the others it is located in a high muggle area so use stealth. Best hunt times are early morning and evenings. Accessible from the beach or limited parking on the beach ramp or on the west side of A1A, use caution crossing this busy roadway.

 

Congrats to kngofcrunk69 on his first FTF!

While on the World's Most Famous Beach you might want to try surfing. 
Florida’s history of surfing actually started in the early 1930’s with a few Virginia Beach lifeguards, namely John Smith and Babe Braithwait, renting concession stands at the beaches and demonstrating the sport with Hawaiian surfboards. Bill and Dudley Whitman, well regarded as Florida’s first surfers, were bellyboarding in Miami Beach at the same time. After noticing the Hawaiian surfboard, Bill Whitman built the first Hawaii-style surfboard in Florida out of sugar pine. The Whitman brothers also constructed the first Blake style hollow board. Gauldin Reed was also a pioneer surfer in Florida, surfing in Daytona Beach. The true popularity of the sport permeated Florida in the years following World War II. Pensacola and Cocoa Beach, with active military bases, brought military surfers to Florida, who settled and started generations of active surfers.  In 1967, the Eastern Surfing Association (ESA) started, with Florida a major contributor in terms of surfing talent and 10 separate districts in the organization.   Today surfers can be seen enjoying their sport all along the beach. The most popular surf spot on the World's Most Famous Beach is Ponce Inlet due to the surf break created by the inlet jetties. You are searching for a matchstick container with log only so BYOP.
