Beach area very nice on a rainy day but the water birds were just enjoying their lunch. The park has nesting g piping lovers around the dunes so be mindful of fenced areas. No dogs on beach during nesting season per beach rules

In my opinion, one of the best beaches in Maine!!!!!!!! Totally worth it the 20 dollars 7 day pass. It feels like you are in Norway or Finland

A great destination whether you want to go to the beach or do a walk on the trail or just sit and have a picnic

Chill beach from a mesh path going under the road for a short walk through the state park. Use your debit card at the park gate $5 resident, $7 out of state. accessible from bay view road. Outhouse style bathrooms on the back side with a nature walk. Surf is mild, no good for surfers due to the rocky shelf and islands a short distance from shore. Lots of rocks and shells to collect at low tide. There were also a bunch of small neck clams washing up when we were there. Cool plovers running around the surf as well.

Average beach but the drive through the woods was actually kinda neat. You have to pay to get in (I think only if you’re not from the area? Might be wrong), but there’s free sunscreen and shower to wash the sand off your feet. Lots of space on the beach when I went (admittedly it was kinda cold out). Some seaweed but not a ridiculous amount. I liked the notices about preserving the wildlife, but it was still fun to dig around and see what we could find before burying it back in the hole.
