Spot Guide
Drakes Island offers a sheltered beach break on Maine's southern coast, where consistent Atlantic swells wrap around the point and peel onto sandy banks. The westerly-facing shores here pick up autumn swells particularly well while remaining protected from northeast winter storms by the island's geography. This is a mellow, accessible wave with plenty of room to spread out, making it ideal for improving your skills away from heavier Maine breaks.
