Visitor Reviews of Scarborough Beach

John from UNITED STATES writes:

This is a great beach break, one of my favorites. This beach is generally one of the most consistent breaks in Maine. The surf from big swells is very steep, fast, and can barrel. This makes a great wave for a shortboard. It can be great fun to bring out the longboard and cruise too. The beach is very nice as well. The water seems to get warmer here than other places. Although be ware of rip currents that occur on a regular basis. There are lifeguards and a snack shack near by too. Over all this is my favorite beach in Maine.
