Cahoon Hollow Beach, located along the rugged coastline of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, is the state’s top surfing spot. Make sure you watch "Point Break" on the way to this beach this summer!

Known for its colossal waves and surf culture, this hidden gem in Wellfleet draws surfers from across New England and beyond.

The beach’s prime location on Nantucket Sound exposes it to big Atlantic storm systems, generating waves that often reach heights of 8 to 12 feet, with rare swells pushing beyond 15 feet during peak storm seasons! Unlike other regional beaches, Cahoon’s offshore sandbars and shallow shelf make for huge wave height and create long, rideable "breaks".
