This beautiful Maine State Park offers a generous sandy beach and picnic area, with facilities although there are no lifeguards. Birch Beach Birch Point Beach is less busy than other Maine beaches, making it a real gem.

Crescent Beach is another beautiful beach near Rockland and Owls Head, though lined with beach cottages and not as private and preserved as Birch Point State Park, it offers soft white sand and gentle surf with limited public parking. Don’t let Southern Maine claim to have all the best beaches, the midcoast of Maine (referred to as the Lighthouse Coast) has many great beaches.
