“ Beautiful white Sandy Beach - We brought our beach chairs and were surprised when several seagulls dive bombed the people sitting near us To grab a sandwich - I was glad it Wasn't me but decided to do a sketch of it and gave it to the poor couple who We're visiting from out of Nee England- Entertaining to Put it mildly ”

“ We came in on a perfect day, mid week. Beautiful beach and not crowded, clean bathrooms and free sunscreen. There's an entrance fee, $8 for adults and $4 for children, $2 seniors, non-residents. Just beware because cell signal was spotty on the beach and you have to go to the parking lot to get a decent cell service. ”

“ Itzhak's first and last beach in Maine we love Popham the tide pools are amazing for young kids. At high and low tides we are able to walk the sand bar to the island. Will miss Popham Beach ”

“ Pretty beach, but quite crowded. $8 per person (discounts for children, Maine residents, and seniors). Arrive early (before 10am?) or parking will be an issue. We did notice on the way out that they had beach chairs and umbrellas to borrow. Wish we had seen that on the way in! We enjoyed our day here, but coming from California, I'm unaccustomed to having to pay for beach access (we did NOT park in the State Park parking lot). We visited another beach the day prior (from Bates-Morse Mountain Conservation Area) and thought it was nicer, mostly because there were less people (and it was free!). But still, can't complain about a day at the beach! Kids loved it. Small waves, cool (ok, COLD) water, and beautiful backdrop. Worth the cost to see and experience. ”

“ Very large beach, especially during low tide. There are a few large rocks/islands that you can walk out to at low tide and the beach wasn't overcrowded. Not much in the way of sealife by the shore but we did see some small fish and a few shells. ”

“ Spent 5 hours today soaking in the sun at our favorite beach. We were surprised a bit by the fact that it wasn't more crowded, but were thrilled to have more solitude. I hesitate to encourage more people to visit but I must say this place is the quintessential Maine beach. However, if you want boardwalks, restaurants and entertainment then please stick to the beaches in the southern part of the state since you won't find anything like that here. ”

“ The park was full so we drove down the road and we're lucky enough to find parking by the Fort. Great site to see and beautiful beach right next to it. Great activity for our family! ”

“ We got there later in the day so it was closed. But we enjoyed the beach nearby. Since it was evening, there were lots of bugs. So we didn't stay long. If you want to enjoy the park at its fullest, go earlier! ”

“ It's been a very long time since I've been here and I'll be coming here more frequently. The beach is amazing, very sandy, clean, and lots of space. We went on a hot day and I was worried it would be packed. We were still able to get parking and there was TONS of space free on the beach. When it is low tide you can walk out to Fox island as well. I would say it's like OOB without the massive crowds, traffic and overpriced food. There are bathrooms here which are very clean. And unlike at OOB you don't have to pay to use some of them or go into a nasty port-a-poty. Since it is a state park you have to pay to get in but children are free and Maine residents are $3 an adult. Not too bad really. ”
