Popham Beach, Phippsburg

Popham Beach is regarded as one of Maine's least developed beaches by many. It is one of the best Maine beaches. The shoreline changes from year to year due to shifting sands, yet the beauty of this beach never changes. The three-mile stretch of sand is a pristine paradise for tourists in the summer. The rolling waves draw surfers and strong swimmers, but the area's strong currents and sporadic riptides should be avoided.

Travelers can access the adjacent Fox Island at low tide; just be mindful of the timing of the incoming tide. This beautiful area has a beach that can accommodate a variety of interests. The Sebasco Harbor Resort, located close by in Sebasco Estates, offers a variety of family-friendly activities close to the water, including a golf course, tennis courts, an outdoor pool, boating, fishing, and hiking. Babysitting and a kids' club are also offered, which is great for when the adults wish to visit the on-site spa.
