The 500+ acre conservation area fronts over a mile of stunningly beautiful beach and dunes. Hike 2 miles each way through the salt marshes to enjoy a picnic and afternoon swimming and relaxing on the pristine, private beach. Parking is limited, so arrive early in the morning. No public restrooms.
A sandy beach bordering the south side of the mouth of the Kennebec River, Popham Beach State Park is truly one of Maine's rare geologic landforms. Sunbathers relaxing on Popham's sands can see Fox and Wood islands offshore, and the Kennebec and Morse rivers border each end of the beach.
The rooms are exceptionally cozy, well appointed, and comfortable. I don't know if I have ever slept in a bed this delightful at a hotel. And even more than the individual rooms, the common areas are inviting, enjoyable, and welcoming. At the Squire Tarbox, breakfast was my favorite part of every day. Gathering with the other guests and savoring coffee on the porch while eating well-made breakfast was time well spent.
