Morse Mountain to Seawall Beach — Attraction in Phippsburg

I love how you have to hike a trail to get to the beach. Not only is the trail good exercise but it also gives you something to look forward look. The view on top of the mountain is slightly obscured because of some trees and a private beach house but its still a beautiful view. The beach itself is beautiful!

I took my first solo adventures here this past weekend. After a recommendation from a friend I couldn't wait to check this place out.

The commute was just under 2hours one way from the Bangor area. The parking attendant confirmed that it was a good idea to get there early as the lot is often full by noon. Cars are turned away when the lot is full.

The hike in was gorgeous! A couple of big hills and the mosquitoes would carry you away if they could. BRING BUGSPRAY!

The beach was absolutely breathtaking. It was just about low tide when I arrived and there was only a few other folks in sight.

The hike out starts with two big hills, followed by another hill to check out the summit. The extra hill is 100% worth it as the summit had...
