Nice, huge beach. Usually pretty busy, parking can be tricky. The waves can be pretty cool and there are nice areas to walk - but don't get caught by the tide. Changing areas/restrooms are busy but okay.

Popham Beach State Park is home to one of the most beautifully unique beach landscapes in Maine, if not all of New England.  It sits between the Morse River and the Kennebec River and is straddled by Morse Mountain and the ancient civil war era garrison known formally as Fort Popham.

The beach itself has taken a battering from Maine’s truest versions of Mother Nature over the last few decades and, as a result, erosion has whittled away a great deal of its shoreline and its naturally occurring dunes.

Luckily, there is still ample space to enjoy this unspeakably gorgeous place where you can stake your umbrella and lounge on the sand for a nominal fee.  You’ll be grateful that you did.

Oh, and a little tip to those making their first visit ... Plan your day around the tide times, with the most optimal arrival window being the one that’s closest to low tide.

This is a beautiful family-friendly beach. Plenty of parking, including handicap spots. There are parking/admission fees, but senior citizens get in free. Clean beach, with a moderate walk to the sand. The perfect place to gather seashells and sand dollars. Picnic tables are near the parking area. Restrooms are clean, and located at both ends of the parking lot. Seagulls are hungry and bold.

A great beach for swimming, reading a book, beach combing or sun bathing. A nice family beach with a Lifeguard on duty until 4:00p.m during the week. Any form of a Military ID (active duty, retired, reserve) gets you in get in free! Its a clean, beautiful beach. NO form of any life preservers can be worn here! They offer public restrooms and changing rooms. Watch out for the Sea Gull's, they are very aggressive and will take your food anyway they can! Do not leave food unattended!

Great kid-friendly, clean, sandy beach; it's one of our favorites. Especially fun at low tide when you can walk to the island. Beware: the parking tends to fill up during the middle of the day in the busy season. Try to get there before 10:00am or after 2:00. Also, beware of the VERY aggressive seagulls. They will swoop down and steal lunch right from your hands between bites. They will rummage through your bags as soon as you walk away. Eat under an umbrella and keep your food locked in a cooler or zipped up in a bag. Amazing beach despite the parking and seagull difficulties.
