Surfing Florida: A Photographic History explores Palm Beach County’s surf culture through photographs, historic boards, and firsthand accounts. In a place known for inconsistent waves, surfers developed a determined, adaptive approach that helped shape a legacy of innovation, competitive success, and a lasting presence within Florida’s broader surfing history.
Special Screening: Birth of The Endless Summer
Celebrate the spirit of surf culture with a special screening of Birth of the Endless Summer: Discovery of Cape St. Francis inside the historic courthouse. Presented in conjunction with the opening week of our new summer exhibition Surfing Florida: A Photographic History, this cinematic evening explores the origins of one of surfing’s most iconic stories.
Set against the grand backdrop of the courthouse, this special screening invites audiences to dive deeper into the history, adventure, and enduring mythology of surfing—perfectly complementing the exhibition’s exploration of Florida’s own surf heritage.
