Ditch Plains is a two-mile stretch of sandy beach and one of the more consistent waves in Long Island.
Of the 5 days I spent surfing around Montauk, Ditch Plains was the only wave breaking the entire time. It reminded me of the long, crumbly, mellow long-board friendly breaks of SoCal. I was lucky to be staying just down the street of this stunning spot, lined with stunning dunes and cliffs.
