Spot Guide
Holden Beach is a classic Carolina beach break on a south-facing barrier island that picks up S and SE swells from tropical systems and frontal passages. The sandy bottom and gradual beach slope create consistent, mellow conditions with plenty of room to spread out. Best during fall when Atlantic storms deliver fun, accessible waves.
