Though "the original" Ron Jon Surf Shop opened in the early 1960s in Long Beach Island, New Jersey, it's the iconic Cocoa Beach location (the brand's flagship) that put Ron Jon on the map globally ...

He opened the first store in Ship Bottom in 1961 before moving to Florida, creating another shop in Cocoa Beach in 1963. Ron Jon Surf Shop has about a dozen U.S. stores, most of which are in Florida.

The surfing accents continue inside, where surfboard-shaped throw rugs -- embossed, of course, with the Ron Jon Surf Shop logo -- sit atop thick wall-to-wall carpeting in the main part of the cabin.
