Willard Beach is a charming small sandy beach break tucked into South Portland, Maine, facing southwest into Casco Bay. It picks up south to southwest swells that funnel through the bay, producing mellow, rolling waves best suited for beginners and longboarders looking to enjoy Maine's rugged coastal scenery. The spot is relatively uncrowded and offers a laid-back atmosphere, though surfable conditions require solid swell energy to overcome the bay's natural wave attenuation.
