About this spot
Dolphin Beach is a favorite for long downwinders and Big Air sessions in the Table View area. It offers rolling Atlantic waves and consistent SE winds. The open beach layout makes it an ideal starting or finishing point for downwind runs along the coast. While there are fewer amenities directly on the beach compared to Big Bay, it is close to all the infrastructure of Table View. Kiters should be prepared for cold water, strong winds, and the physical demands of long downwind drifts.
