Colony Beach is a quiet stretch of Maine coastline near Kennebunkport, facing nearly due north and picking up northeast swells that roll in off the Gulf of Maine. Waves here tend to be small and mellow, making it an accessible spot for beginners and longboarders looking to escape the crowds of more popular New England breaks. The rugged Maine setting, with cool water and dramatic seasonal skies, gives this spot a raw, uncrowded charm that dedicated locals treasure.
