In addition to being able to enjoy a beach day at the lovely Atlantic, you can enjoy various activities--shopping, arcade, food, etc. There's plenty of hotels and motels right on the beach, plus the beautiful Union Bluff Hotel. There's a large parking lot and you now pay on your phone for parking. They also have a bathroom in the parking lot for public use. If you want more of a grown up beach with less public attractions, you might prefer Long Sands beach just up the road. It was cool bringing my boyfriend here as this was one of the first places in Maine my family took me too when I was a baby. All in all, a classic beach spot in Maine.

This chart detailed information regarding when the beach would be present and when it would go away. I can only assume that this was accidentally left behind by a member of the CIA, the FBI, the NOAA, or Trump/Pence 2016. There's no way OBummer could have published the government's schedule for the ocean; he's always on vacation (per Fox News). New for 2016 I've discovered the game of Cornholio played by America's youth. They throw sacks at each others' holes all day in an attempt to get points. I find this game confusing, frustrating, entertaining, and intoxicating. Game on Wayne! Game on Garth!
