Located along the rugged coastline in Seawall Maine is a small extraordinary sand beach, the sand is fine, with beautiful sand dunes serving as a backdrop, and off at a safe distance rolling waves crash against rugged granite. Locals are drawn to this unique beach on hot summer days, some go there to relax or picnic, some to meditate, and others arrive just to take in God's creation, yet this small beach is rarely crowded and numerous times I have found myself in complete solitude with the entire beach mine and mine alone. Just around the bend to the left lies Seawall Picnic Area where locals and tourists alike compete for choice picnic tables, further down the shoreline to the right, just out of view, is an accessible cove with granite mining sites not far from the shore.
DIRECTIONS;
Drive or take the bus to either Seawall Picnic Area or Seawall Campground across the road from the picnic area. If your exiting the campground, go right, if your exiting the picnic area go left a short ways, there you will see a large field with a small shed in one corner and a worn path running through the field toward the water beyond. Follow the path to where a sloping rock wall is built up, walk along it until you arrive at the sand beach and sand dunes.Arrive in the evening an enjoy the rising moon shining down on the waves.
