    The Beach at Fort Williams
    Park.

    Maine is known for it's rugged rocky coastline and not for its sandy beaches. However this small Beach at Ft. Williams Park, with smooth pebbles, lies in a little cove between the Portland Head Lighthouse and Fort Williams. It was a pleasant day in August when we were there, however, the water here never gets warm. Still we saw a few hardy people enjoying the beach, and some children were swimming.

    For those who dare, the beach is open to the public year round. Winter swimming is not recommended since the water may be frozen.

    Other recreational opportunities in the park include tennis courts, walking the rocks along the shore, picnic areas and open green space for throwing a frisbee, flying a kite or whatever.
