Although Beachwave Beachwear is a bit of a drive past Port Canaveral, it's the best place to pick up some swimwear if you're on a budget. The drive is worth the money you will save. In fact, Beachwave Beachwear was founded in 1991, in response to the expensive cost of swimwear and beachy accessories along the Space Coast, according to its website. The goal: To offset the other expensive surf shops in the area and provide shoppers a less expensive option. The shop started with one small shop in Cocoa Beach, and now have five locations. You can also shop online; Beachwave launched an online shop in 2010. Here, you can find everything from swimming suits to toys to beach umbrellas to towels to sunscreen to floaties to boards. Bonus: The staff here is known for being super friendly.
