In addition to the smell of ocean water in the air on rainy days in Portland, she loves puppies, photography, funny people, the Maine Red Claws, traveling, fresh tomatoes, Cambodia and filling out forms.

Summertime in Maine means warm weather, plenty of sunshine, and lots of opportunities to get outside. That’s why we’re always on the lookout for new and fun places to visit. Luckily, Maine is home to about 48 state parks and historic sites. That means there’s always something new to see and explore. If you’re looking for a fun state park that’s perfect for summertime, this is it!
You'll find Birch Point Beach State Park hiding out in Owls Head.
The park offers the kind of peace you just can't find in some of the larger, more popular towns further south. And while visiting Birch Point Beach might require a drive for some, we can promise you it's worth the journey.
While some state parks in Maine offer enough activity to keep you busy for days, we love that Birch Point Beach State Park is simple. Beautiful views, two short trails and all the midcoast views you could want!
Birch Point Beach State Park is typically open from 9 a.m. to sunset, Memorial Day to Labor Day. You’ll still be able to access the beach during the off-season by parking near the gate without blocking it. The fee of $3 for Maine residents and $4 for non-residents can only be paid with cash or check.
