Pemaquid Beach Park — Attraction in Bristol

Pemaquid Beach is a fantastic place to spend the day in Maine and is inviting for all ages. With plenty of space to spread out and enjoy the sand, it’s perfect for everything from relaxing in the sun to fun beach adventures. Kids and families love exploring the rocks and searching for crabs, while others might enjoy a quiet picnic or building the biggest sandcastle they can.

The water is usually calm with very minimal waves and little to no riptide, making it a safe and comfortable spot for swimming. Off the beach, there’s a great food stand and plenty of picnic tables where you can enjoy a meal with a view. The facilities have been newly refurbished in recent years, including a beautiful new entrance that sets the tone for a great day ahead. Whether you’re sunbathing, swimming, snacking, or exploring, Pemaquid Beach is a perfect summer destination...

No lifeguard here so swim at your own risk. Congrat to Bristol recreation department for making this great family friendly park available to the...
