Scientists will tell you this is a "pocket beach" and the sand is left over from the last glacier. But beachgoers will tell you that this is one of the best places to spend a sunny, summer afternoon.
Pemaquid Beach has been a favorite for families for decades. With that in mind, the Parks Commission makes several amenities available to make your day at the beach more enjoyable. We offer large changing rooms and a shower room to rinse off the beach sand. Popular with the younger beach goers is the outdoor shower tower to rinse off little feet and legs.
You'll find a Beach Shop stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas and toys to rent. If you forgot your sunscreen or need an extra beach towels, the Beach Shop has those too.
Guests with mobility issues can request to be taken onto the beach in our "Gator" recently purchased for that purpose. The energetic staff raised the funds to purchase the "Gator" through fundraisers and barbeques.
