Jenness Beach

New Hampshire, USA

Beach breakBeginner

Quiet NH beach with mellow waves and uncrowded summer shape. One of New Hampshire's few real surf spots, this compact beach picks up northeast swells and shapes them into easy, forgiving walls. The small-town setting means you will often have peaks to yourself.
