Popham Beach

Popham Beach State Park is located off Route 209 in Phippsburg Maine. This hidden treasure has a unique landscape that will keep adults and kids entertained for a great day at the beach. The beach is huge, scenic, has access to Fox Islands by way of a sandbar during low tide and plenty of driftwood and sand to make sculptures with. High and low tides offers quite a different beach experience, check the tide schedule to make the most of your trip if coming from a far distance.
