Last weekend we went to Popham Beach. This is our favorite beach because the conditions change with the tide. It's like going to 4 different beaches on the same day. Lots of flats at low tide with ankle-deep water to run and splash in, go for a ride in the river (downstream while the tide is going out, upstream while the tide is coming in - do both on the same day), and body surf the breakers. Walk out to the island at low tide or take a stroll up the river. We also went to Fort Popham, a civil war-era fort built to protect the mouth of the Kennebec River, which leads to Bath, an important ship-building town, and Augusta, the state capitol.
