Beach info
Long Beach at Nahant is a great place to ride Northeast and East winds. It\’s also a great place to ride/surf waves when there are Northeast/East swells. The beach is over a mile and a half long and very shallow at low tide. The fine sand is hard enough to go landboarding, one of the best landboarding spots in the area. Watch out for gusts when on the beach and launching because of the parking lot and roadway.
