Maine: Life is a Beach
January 13th, 2010
While many people like to think of Hawaii or the Bahamas as the perfect destination for a beach vacation getaway, Maine has several world-class beaches worthy of consideration. Sure, Maine is well known for its lobsters, scenic views of lighthouses and rocky coastline, but its long sandy beaches are right up there with the top Maine tourist attractions… or should be. In fact, Maine has some of the most beautiful beaches on the East Coast. For surfers, Maine also offers some of the top spots for some of the wildest rides in the Atlantic. Whoda thunk it? Maine beaches feature miles of soft sand, gently worn sea stones, sea glass, shells and glistening ocean waters as far as the eyes can see. Of course, the water temps won’t be confused with those in the SPF 30 zone as they rarely climb above 65 – even in the middle of August! But the water is clean and refreshing and full of fun for swimmers, boogie boarders and surfers. Many of Maine’s most popular beaches have lifeguards and bathrooms. In general, most of these beaches charge for parking in the summer as well. Take the time to do a little research before you go and you’ll be rewarded with a wonderful beach day experience!
