There are two locations on Sewell Pond-one is roadside and was fairly crowded when we visited, so we couldn’t get many pictures, but the other one is nicer anyway. The first area is at +43 52.143, -069 46.993, and is just a little pull off where the water comes close to Arrowsic Road as you […]
Reid State Park is one of the most popular beaches in Maine, but it never feels too overcrowded. This is because the parking lot size restricts the number of visitors, but it also means that you might have to wait for a spot to open. There is lifeguarded swimming at both a lagoon and on […]
We really don’t have any information on this location, we just saw people pulled over and swimming, and it is listed on swimmingholes.org. There isn’t much parking, and the water is quite dark, almost black, and it seemed a little reedy and swampy.
A small park on the ocean with picnic tables and pavilion. We were here at low tide so there was a medium sized beach area, mix of sand and large boulders. It looks like during high tide the beach may disappear or become very small, however there is plenty of grass and picnic table right by […]
This is an oceanside town park, with a swimming beach and dock. The park is close to the outlet shopping in Freeport, so you could easily do both. There is camping available, and a playground with a wooden ark. The park was quiet and clean, and very peaceful when we where here. There are also […]
This is a town park located directly across from the Yarmouth History Center. This location was listed on swimmingholes.org, but we couldn’t tell exactly where people swim, since there are multiple falls, and the river takes two different paths around the park. We believe it is most likely that people swim near the larger fall, but […]
Coffin Pond is a town park in Brunswick, which features a large water slide, and a medium sized swimming area. The water looks fairly shallow throughout, and is cloudy jade in color. The swimming area is fenced, and there is a small sand beach and picnic spot, and some concessions. The park would probably be […]
Popham beach is one of the most popular beaches in Maine, and it is one of our favorites. It has a massive sand beach, and since the parking lot is relatively small, it never feels too crowded. It does fill up early on weekends though, and there is often a line of cars waiting. The […]
Morse Mountain is a conservation area that is open to the public. The 1.7 mile trail brings you to a beach that is separated from Popham Beach by a small tidal river. There are no facilities whatsoever, so bring everything you might need, and “carry in, carry out.” There is no shade on the beach, and […]
This is a private beach that is open to the public, though the nearby private campground requires registration and is fenced off. You’ll see a small toll booth off of Route 216, which is where you pay the day use fee. We were there on a weekday and the booth was empty, so it might […]
