Pine Point Beach is a gently sloping sandy break tucked along the southern Maine coastline near Scarborough, facing NNW into Saco Bay and picking up long-traveled Atlantic swells that wrap around Cape Elizabeth. The waves here tend to be mellow and mushy, making it a forgiving spot for beginners and longboarders, though fall nor'easters can pump up surprisingly punchy peaks. Maine's notoriously cold waters and shorter surf windows keep crowds thin, rewarding dedicated surfers with uncrowded sessions against a backdrop of rugged New England scenery.
