Absolutely gorgeous spot and so worth visiting in the off season. It’s so pleasant walking on the sand listening to the waves and there’s tons of hiking trails that you can explore. Definitely one of the highlights of the park.
We started our exploration of the park here. Be aware, many others do too!
So we set out shortly after sunrise and were the first at the beach. As we left, many cars began arriving allowing us to always be a step ahead of the crowd this day. Got to stay a while and enjoy the Maine fog before the sun burned it off.
Colors in the fall are absolutely mind blowing.
Plenty of parking and dog friendly!
A nice sandy beach with great views of the ocean as well as Beehive Mountain. Even though there's a decent amount of foot traffic, the beach is big enough that there's a spot for everyone. There's a good amount of parking, but the parking lot was full by 9:30 am so make sure you get there sooner rather than later!
The beach is beautiful. Less crowded and clean. We visited the beach when hiking the Great Head Trail Loop. The hike was great too with amazing views.
We started our park loop road at 830 in the morning to avoid crowds and it was our first stop. Sand Beach is one of the first major stops along Park Loop Road. This is a scenic beach that is known for its white-sand shoreline and turquoise water. what a clean, soothing, and beautiful beach it is. fall color, hills in the backdrop of turquoise water making it so photogenic.
there are 10-20 stairs to go to the beach, I did not see a wheelchair ramp though.
there are some walking trails (Which we did not go to). Walk the Great Head Trail or cross Park Loop Road and hike the thrilling Beehive Trail. There are also restrooms and water fill-up stations in the parking lot for visitors.
Parking: as it was morning time, we easily got parking. or you can park here and walk to Thunder hole and Otter Cliff but its 2 miles up and down.
Like the sign said water is wicked cold even in July / August but the beach is splendid and beautiful. The sand is golden and the water is clear. Our kids loved the beach to play and to swim. There is a little shower outside which was very helpful. Restrooms are also available in the parking lots.
Superbe plage! Malgré la quantité phénoménale de personnes présentes le jours de notre visite il y avait malgré tout beaucoup de place à la plage. Faites attention par contre l’eau est glaciale! Le plus compliqué c’est l’accès a un parking si vous arriver plus tard que le matin le parking sera sans aucun doute complet et vous devrez marché un bon bout. Une navette est disponible sur place par contre pour vous transporter.
Beautiful sandy beach. I was here while it was cold outside October 5th and only went for a short swim. The waves were pretty crazy and I didn't want to be pulled out to sea.
The innkeeper Chris was so warm and intentional and present, making us feel welcome. He also stayed up personally make sure we could get in very late at night, helped us plan around the marathon so we still had a stellar couple days. We stayed in Oct
This is the place to go if you want coffee and a nice breakfast sandwich with chill vibes. I highly recommend the âBlack Pumpkinâ. Their iced coffee black with their pumpkin flavoring is perfect. No creamer necessary.

Very homey and comfortable with a great breakfast. Stayed three nights and had a different breakfast each day. They have a hot water machine in the dining room and a comfortable living room to hang out in.
Parking was large enough for a large jeep.
Visited in the off season, stunning easy flat walk, while not paved it is for the most part accessible and hazard free. For folks that like to climb on rocks atleast during our visit we where able to climb around on the rocks during lower tide
This was such a beautiful place for an easy hike. We loved that it wasn't crowded and the views at the end were breathtaking! Make sure check the rocky areas in the water for seals!
