About

These beaches (Popham in particular) are some of the most beautiful beaches in Maine. Take a day trip with the family or some friends when the swell is high, if you get lucky catch some waves otherwise hangout and enjoy a beautiful Maine Beach.

Atmosphere:
I have heard great things about these beaches but have yet to see it, and I have given them many chances. They have consistant small soft waves adequate for the kiddies but require a large swell to get a good surf break. I've caught a couple decent waves but I usually en up make sand castles on the beach instead. Both beaches have great potential, but they are a little out of the way.

Additional Info:
Both beaches are parks so they charge money to get in. You cannot check out the surf till you already paid and walked over the sand dune to the beach. 
Popham has several different sandbars and ledges over a large area. There are probably 5 solid breaks in the Popham Beach area.
Small Point is also right next to Popham. Small Point is a long right point break.
