Footbridge Beach in Ogunquit, Maine is a gentle sandy break that offers some of the most accessible surf along the southern Maine coastline. Facing WNW into the Ogunquit River mouth area with exposure to open Atlantic swells, this spot picks up energy from northeast and east swells that wrap into the beach, producing mellow, rolling waves ideal for beginners and longboarders. What makes it unique is its scenic New England setting, relatively uncrowded lineups compared to points further south, and the sandy bottom that keeps conditions forgiving even in the cold North Atlantic waters.
