Catching Waves at Fortunes Rocks: A Hidden Surf Spot in Biddeford, Maine

Tucked along the rugged coast of Biddeford, Maine, Fortunes Rocks is a beach that feels like a well-kept secret — long stretches of sand, crashing Atlantic waves, and a sense of calm you don’t always find in more crowded coastal towns.

On any given morning, you might catch the sun breaking over the water, painting the wet sand in gold and amber. And if you’re lucky — or local — you might spot a surfer or two out beyond the break, chasing waves in a place that doesn’t always show up in the guidebooks.

This drone photo captures just that: a friend riding a clean set in solitude, framed by the signature coastline and open ocean horizon. It's moments like this that inspired Wood Island Studio — the feeling of Maine’s raw beauty, seen from a new perspective.

Fortunes Rocks has always been more than just a beach. For locals, it’s a slice of home. For visitors, it’s an unexpected discovery. And for creatives, it’s the kind of place that makes you reach for your camera, your sketchpad — or maybe your surfboard.

This spot is part of what makes the Biddeford coast so special. From the historic lighthouses to the beaches, we try to bottle a bit of that vibe in every design we release.  Just remember to stop by the local town offices to get your beach parking pass!
