Exploration
of Mount Desert Island - Bar Harbor Maine: Virtual Tour
Guide and Information
for "SAND BEACH"
This is a very unique beach along the
typical rugged coastline of Acadia. It is 290 yards
long and is etched between beautiful granite mountains.
It is made up of quartz and tiny ground mollusk shells. This beach is accessed from the Ocean
Road loop. If you drive, you'll need a pass to access
this road, otherwise a tour will take you here. During
the summer there is a lifeguard and swimming, but the
temperature of the water is a bit brisk. There are
several trails you'll want to walk. The most popular
at Great Head, just above the beach. Also try the
Gorham Mountain Trail, The Beehive & the Bowl which are all
right here. Make sure you have a trail map which will
make it easy to locate and more enjoyable when you know
where you are going. The whole trail is less than 3
miles. |
| Explorer Note:
The water rarely exceeds 55 degrees, but the beach
is beautiful. |
