There are lots of children for yours to make friends with, shallow waters, and a sandy beach with no debris.

Ahhhh Ocean Air! How I love spending lazy, summer days at Fortune's Rocks. I grew up going to…read morethis beach and I never take it for granted. You can take nice long walks at low tide or play in the waves at high tide. However, it cannot be a full high tide as there is no beach area to sit but give it a few hrs & the sand reappears and you can swim or walk the day away. There is an area of rocks & tide pools that's amazingly peaceful to stroll while checking out the beautiful sea stars, shells and other sea life. It is truly a place of tranquility mostly because it does not get that busy in the summer.

Although it does not have a beach, Two Lights State Park was a fun place to explore for our family. It has clean restroom facilities and picnic tables if you want to enjoy lunch. Away from the coastline, the park also has a wooded trail that provides respite from the sun. The only downside is that NO lighthouses are visible within the park. Instead, you'll have to turn right just outside the park and drive about a half-mile toward a seafood restaurant and tiny beach. However, the view of the lighthouse is partially obstructed by a mega-mansion under construction. That said, we managed to capture a photo of the famous lighthouse (from the Edward Hopper painting) by going up a private street (Two Lights Terrace) for a quick photo. It's unfortunate the state park did not acquire the land where the restaurant is located and block the construction of private housing.

This particular park is a bit deceiving in that the name two lights might make you think you are going to see 2 lights, there is only one on the mainland, and the other is 17 miles out to sea. But who really cares when the park gives you the amazing views that it does! The trails wind on the upper cliffs of the shoreline and provide an awesome view of Casco Bay and the ocean. Along the walking trails are benches and picnic tables where you can take pause and be at one with the ocean. The views of the crashing waves and the rocky shoreline are amazing!

Wide open spaces…read more Memorial Park is a cool park nestled in between the ocean and the Libby Library. Definitely not a bad location for a park, this one just seems small at first but just keeps going. All kinds of things in the park, tennis courts, basketball courts, a nice gazebo, a memorial for veterans and even a nice little lighthouse model at the main entrance. Gentle, rolling hills makes Memorial Park a great place for a gentle walk in your bare feet. During the summer there is a Summer Concert Series of music as well as other events and activities. This is a very popular park and you see all kinds of people during all kinds of things. Some playing sports, other strumming on musical instruments and some just laying on the grass catching the sea breezes. In the winter people even use the park for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and some sledding for the little kids on the small hills. A very nice park in an extremely nice location.

There are restrooms and parking on site, although I cannot confirm the condition of the restrooms. Parking in the lot is very expensive if you go before 5:30pm during the summer months. The good news is that most of the crowds clear out by then, so if you're up for an evening beach trip, you can enjoy free parking and fewer people!

When entering, the first thing you see on the left is an older, semi-homemade looking skate park. Not concrete, but plywood. Driving further, on the left is a teen center. The building and painted sign feels very "summer campy" to me. Not a bad thing, as I LOVED going to summer camps as a teen (spent my summers at them from age 9-15!) As the road bends to the right, there's a dog park on the left, a larger penned in area for large dogs and a smaller penned in area for small dogs. Even though we had dogs with us, we didn't stop. We continued on a bit of a stretch, lovely, really! And it appears several ball fields are used by the city for school or community sports. We were hoping to drive closer to the river, as my companion had an injury and couldn't walk. We sat in the dirt parking lot chatting, looking at the trees. We were both amazed at HOW MANY vehicles came and went while we were there! There were Port-o-potties nearby, and they were used by several folks in vehicles, walkers, dogs and a team of HS cross country runners that came by. I'm definitely coming back here again, to explore the grassy and beach area and walk my dogs!
