Tower Beach proper is a smooth pebble beach between the two ww2 pillboxes. I refer to the Tower Beach break as the section of sandbar just right of the big stone reef off of Tower Beach, the section where I drew the waves:

I consider the difference between Tower and Acadia breaks something like this:

The reason I differentiate between the two is I find they break very differently.
The Acadia break is a long flat slope that just gets shallower very slowly.
The Tower Break is a sandbar that gets shallower as you go further out and then drops off. This makes it so that at the right tide (about 0.9m, but it varies with wave height) you get the waves breaking on the sandbar and then passing over it still as a wave which extends the wave.
I find that the waves at the Tower Break feel much more coastal like, with a curling peak that has power you have to respect.
