Fox Island,
Popham Beach State Park, Popham, Maine
Latitude: 043° 44' 16.88"N
Longitude: 069° 46' 38.61"W
East-facing smooth rocky shore exposed
to heavy wave action. Zonation here is typical of a wave-swept
shore adjacent to a sandy beach. Both the Kennebec and
Morse Rivers meet the ocean near this site.The island
lies a short distance offshore from Popham Beach State
Park. It can be accessible for a reasonable
amount of time both before and after low tide, by walking
over a sand bar. Attention must be kept to the tide to
prevent stranding. Parking is a problem in the summer
months. |
