Located on the coast of southern Maine, the York Beach Surf Club, a new 52-room family-owned resort deeply rooted in the history of northeast surfing culture and beach vacation hospitality, has officially opened its doors this month. Originally founded in 1963 as an organization for local surfers by York’s own Sonny Perkins, a surfer who was pivotal in the overall emergence of east coast surf culture and the first surfer in the state of Maine, it found new life when his son Taylor purchased the property in 2020.
