We discovered Short Sands Beach for the first time this last November, while on a waymarking tour of New England.

We were impressed with the skill of the surfers in huge waves at Short Sands but apparently Long Sands Beach is the place to surf. From mid-June to Labor Day weekend, there is a designated surfing area on Long Sands, between the two orange flags at about the midpoint of the beach. During the rest of the year, surfing is allowed anywhere on Long Sands.

The day we went it was too cold to put our toes in the water. We will return when it is warmer.
