Ogunquit Beach
Edit SpotAbout
Beautiful Maine scenery. Rocky cliffs and friendly town. Best surf breaks at the rivermouth, but there is also a hidden spot that breaks at low tide just south of the river.
Atmosphere:
Beach break that works on swells from the s, se and e. Starts to close out at around overhead or so and thats when locals head up to kennebunk. The only problem here is the very cold water. Best to go during late summer and early fall when hurricanes are churning up the Atlantic.
