The beach is great for kids, swimming and relaxing. It abuts a public beach and some visitors may also be seen along the shore. Please keep in mind that beaches in this part of Maine are more rocky than sandy and water shoes may be necessary. The water access is a bit rocky but great for launching kayaks and beachcombing. Swimming may require water shoes and awareness of tides. Pictures on the website show the condition of the waters edge.

The on the water in Maine team has always been very easy to work with and very responsive to any needs we may have. This year the yard was very long and had not been mowed for a long time. We reached out to the team and they had someone out there to take care of it within a day.

Our favorite feature has always been the outside, especially the yard and beach. It is a great location for the kids.
