Unlike most Maine beaches, the beaches at Reid State Park are sandy and long, just right for those hot summer or crisp fall days. Besides picnic areas with grills, a snack bar and flush toilets, you’ll find freshwater showers (unheated) and changing rooms. Swimming, birdwatching, hiking—and, if you are skilled and able, you can paddle there from KBC. Reid State Park is a 20 minute drive from KBC.
A 40 minute drive from KBC is Popham Beach State Park. Popham is truly one of Maine’s rare geologic landforms that features a long stretch of sand beach. The rolling Atlantic surf draws thousands of swimmers and surfers alike, and shell collecting is a pastime of many a sea side stroller. Lifeguards are on duty during the summer months, but beachgoers should note that this is a strong surf beach with undertows and occasional rip tides.
