Higgins Beach

Sunbathe with the Locals

Description

What would a trip to Maine be if there wasn't a special stop at the sea shore? Higgins Beach is the place to relax in the lawn chair, fix a Lobster Roll sandwich from the cooler, and watch the waves break over the Atlantic Ocean until the sun goes down. It's a charming beach that the locals have managed to keep under the radar and free from commercial use. If the waves call you, catch a few while surfing or boogie boarding. If fishing for Rockfish makes the ears perk up, then bring a pole, as fishing is a popular sport in this area. The beach has several homes to rent, or “summer” in, so feel free to stay a while and soak in the relaxing sounds of crashing waves, seagulls calling one another, and the subtle but warm east coast breezes.
