contents A subset of $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ is called an arc if it does not contain three collinear points. We show that there are at most $\binom{(1 + o(1))q}{m}$ arcs of size $m \gg q^{1/2} (\log q)^{3/2}$, nearly matching a trivial lower bound $\binom{q}{m}$. This was previously known to hold for $m \gg q^{2/3} (\log q)^3$, due to Bhowmick and Roche-Newton. The lower bound on $m$ is best possible up to a logarithmic factor.
