We took a drive to Owls Head lighthouse and decided to continue on to this state park. The park was closed to vehicular traffic so we made the short (1/3rd of a mile?) walk to the beach. It seemed like a nice family oriented park...More

Made a quick stroll after visiting the lighthouse

The beach is located a short walk from the light. we strolled down and walked the beach and rocks. It does not offer a view back to the light, but there are several picnic tables and some nice views of the water.

There were many cars parked along the road because the gate was down and you couldn't drive in. It was early October, no reason for the park to shut the gates. The walk to the beach wasn't hard, a bit of a hill. We walked...More

Local Beach

When we want to go to the beach, we go to Lucia Beach also known as Birch Point Beach. There is both beach and rocky shore to explore. There are always friendly folks and yet it is never too crowed.

A sandy beach in mid coast Maine

Sandy beaches seem to be rare in Maine so Birch Point Beach State Park is a hidden gem. The beach is broad and the water shallow. There are shaded picnic tables in the wooded perimeter or you can sit on the rocks. The minimal admission...More

Hidden gem of a park, beautiful scenery, great way to spend a few hours
